[LA.pm] LAPM: March Mongers WEDNESDAY 3/22/2017

[Andrew Grangaard]

Mark sent us a lovely follow-up note.  See below.

Thank you to all who attended, our two gracious speakers, logistics and IT
support for all making a lovely meeting.

It's not too soon to start thinking about what you're like to present next
month.   Learn something new and come share!

Note: I recorded the stream, but haven't had a chance to check quality and
upload somewhere.  I'll get that done early next week.

Dear PM friends,

Thanks for inviting me to talk last night, and, for those of you who
attended, thanks for coming!  I had a really good time. Thanks also to
Andrew for lending me his laptop and arranging to stream and record the
talk.  He should have attached the URL to this message if he didn't send it
already.

I have put the most recent version of my slides at

http://perl.plover.com/yak/HoldSpace/

The miscellaneous software I mentioned in the talk included this insane
chess engine written in sed: https://github.com/bolknote/SedChess

Related to Zach Holman's clever spark utility:

   - Original Holman implementation: https://github.com/holman/spark
   - My rewrite: https://github.com/mjdominus/spark
   - A blog post I wrote about spark: http://blog.plover.com/prog/spark.html

I couldn't remember the name of this organism.  It's called *Hallucigenia*

​

I'll be glad to answer questions if I can.
