[kw-pm] November Meeting: "TPM Tools night" (Thursday, Nov 30, 2006)

[Michael Graham]

For the Toronto Perl Mongers November meeting (Thursday, Nov 30,
2006), we'll be having a "tools night":  a night where we can all share
our favourite tips and tricks that we use to get our work done (whether
it's related to Perl or not).

Short (5 minutes) presentations are welcome, but you don't need to do a
presentation to share your tips and tricks.

Some topics/tools that will be demonstrated and/or presented:
    * Selenium             (javascript web testing system)
    * App::Ack             (a better grep for source code)
    * Fuse                 (filesystem in userspace) 
    * Krusader             (Norton Commander for the 21st century)
    * devilspie and wmctrl (window manager tools)
    * various Vim macros

And don't forget to bring your own!  

Some ideas:
    * favourite editor shortcuts or macros
    * window manager tricks
    * version control tools
    * command line tools
    * text processing tools
    * useful perl modules
    * other useful software
    * testing tools


If you've already decided on what you're going to present, please
contact me off-list, and I'll add you to the agenda.

  ===================================================================

  Note:

    The elevators in the building are "locked down" after 5:30pm
    to people without building access cards.  Leading up to the
    meeting someone will come down to the main floor lobby every
    few minutes to ferry people upstairs.  
    
    After 19:00, you can reach the access-card-carrying guy via
    a cell phone number that we'll leave with security in the
    front lobby.  The room and floor numbers will be left with
    security too.
