The main topic will be Node, a flexible event-driven I/O framework for server-side Javascript. http://nodejs.org/ The presenter, Casey Banner, http://caseybanner.ca/ designed a class-scheduling site for Waterloo students. In the process he wrote a few libraries, such as to connect to mongo, a schema-less database similar to couchdb. He also worked with a pile of javascript libraries, also described at the above URL. Thanks everyone for bearing with me as I tried to find the optimal day for the talks. I hope all interested people can make the usual date. And hopefully we can get Matt up from Toronto in a future month for his talk on Node, since scheduling prevents them both presenting on the same night.

Playing with regular solids: - a video on making an icosahedron in sketchup, step-by-step: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TWRvqVgCEI A set of digital books on some of the impressive geometric shapes you can make: http://www.3dvinci.net/GeomeTricksChapterDetails.htm Yesterday I realized there's a ruby interpreter built in, so I played with that. http://regularpolygon.blogspot.com/search/label/Torus - script for making twisted toroids - the same site has a script to make Sierpinski Tetrahedra I wrote a little ruby script that will generate a row of books, to put on your sketchup shelves. To be added: more realistic spines; and adding a bit of randomness to the size of the books. And in the demo I learned that telling it to produce 2,000 books might not work very well. :)
