The evening of Wed 16 July 2008, Damian Conway, Perl expert extraordinaire, Open Source luminary, and long-time friend of the Toronto Perl Mongers, will deliver -- free and to the public -- one of his signature tour-de-force completely insane talks that is 1/3 high-end IT, 1/3 showmanship and 1/3 peyote-fuelled hallucination. Here are the details: Talk: "Temporally Quaquaversal Virtual Nanomachine Programming in Multiple Topologically Connected Quantum-Relativistic Parallel Timespaces... Made Easy" This will be the world premiere of the talk. Date: Wednesday 16 July 2008 Time: 6:30pm - 9pm Location: Bahen Centre for Information Technology, University of Toronto 40 St. George Street (w. side of street, just north of College Ave. Room # BA 1160 http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=+40+St.+George+Street,+Toronto&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=37.052328,95.009766&ie=UTF8&ll=43.659986,-79.396745&spn=0.004137,0.011598&z=17&iwloc=addr As I have done the past 4 times Damian has come to Toronto to give talks I will take up a collection. This is to help defray expenses and to provide Damian with an honorarium for the talk. Donations are completely voluntary. If you feel motivated and/or in the right place financially to make a donation please get in touch with me or visit the Paypal links at http://hew.ca/. The Toronto Perl Mongers and the other groups who have attended Damian's talks have always been incredibly generous in supporting Damian whenever he has visited in the past and both he and I thank everyone for all the support he has received over the years. Cheers, - Richard PS For those of you who don't know Damian, here is some background info on him. He's _not_ just a Perl hacker. If you're into IT in any way, shape or form prepare to have your mind blown... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damian_Conway http://damian.conway.org/About_us//Bio_formal.html http://www.googlism.com/index.htm?ism=damian+conway&type=1 -- I like the "... is my personal savior" one http://en.oreilly.com/oscon2008/public/schedule/speaker/4710 -- we are getting his OSCON 2008 keynote delivered here first! http://itc.conversationsnetwork.org/shows/detail880.html -- to hear one of his previous OSCON keynote talks (although this talk, as is the case with all his talks, is really enhanced by the slideshow that goes along with it) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Ooops. I think we mostly talked about people driving on the 401 and the cuteness of the dark haired waitress. We should probably stay on topic next time ;-) On Thu, 19 Jun 2008 18:19:19 -0400 (EDT), Daniel R.

Heh. I made a use.perl blog entry about it. ;) http://use.perl.org/comments.pl?sid=39815 I think it is heartening that somebody found a practical use for something I was just using for artistic purposes. (And, I should be sure to assert, they weren't "my" quilt patterns; they're from http://www.complexification.net/gallery/machines/nineblock/ and I just used his patterns, as did Don Park). -Daniel > 9-Block IP identification > http://www.docuverse.com/blog/donpark/2007/01/18/visual-security-9-block > -ip-identification > > From daniel at coder.com Tue Jun 24 16:56:53 2008 From: daniel at coder.com (Daniel R.

I think it was on Perlmonks. But I can't seem to find it now. Does anybody know what I'm talking about? :) It said things like "state the problem as simply as possible- a short example of code that isn't working; and what you're trying to do." I think there were many more concrete recommendations along that vein. The reason for this question is, I got an email from someone asking for perl help, which I will forward separately once I've gotten an idea of the real problem. -Daniel From rdice at pobox.com Tue Jun 24 18:25:44 2008 From: rdice at pobox.com (Richard Dice) Date: Tue, 24 Jun 2008 21:25:44 -0400 Subject: [kw-pm] FAQ for someone asking a perl question?

Message-ID: This was announced in the U of Waterloo Daily Bulletin a few days ago. Might be interesting. -- Free public lecture: "Breaking High-Grade German Cyphers in World War II", by Peter Hilton, cryptanalyst at Bletchley Park during the war, sponsored by Faculty of Mathematics, Thursday, July 17, 7:00 p.m., Humanities Theatre. -- If there's sufficient interest in going, we could go en masse, maybe beers after, and move our kw-pm meeting to the following Thursday (24th). -Daniel
