From joey at joeykelly.net Sun Dec 5 17:57:48 2004 From: joey at joeykelly.net (Joey Kelly) Date: Tue Dec 7 11:48:21 2004 Subject: [Neworleans-pm] geek Christmas party on Dec. 16, 2004 Message-ID: <200412051757.48299.joey@joeykelly.net> Y'all, The nolug meeting for this month will be held at a local restaurant instead of at UNO, per our tradition of late. Eating meetings are usually well-attended, so you won't want to miss this one. Incidentally, I'm inviting the other two groups I'm involved in, the Perl and PHP user groups --- the more, the merrier. We'll start around 7:30 PM, and stay until they kick us out. Everyone's vote that actually counted (mine) tallied to KanPai, a neat little sushi buffet on the corner of Canal Blvd. and Carrolton. They also serve regular Chinese food (they even cook it), which I'm sure everyone eats. Y'all come! -- Joey Kelly < Minister of the Gospel | Linux Consultant > http://joeykelly.net "I may have invented it, but Bill made it famous." --- David Bradley, the IBM employee that invented CTRL-ALT-DEL From jkeen at verizon.net Wed Dec 8 15:02:18 2004 From: jkeen at verizon.net (James Keenan) Date: Wed Dec 8 15:00:07 2004 Subject: [Neworleans-pm] Talk Friday December 10 2004 Message-ID: <71EF5E6B-495C-11D9-9791-000D932B9CD4@verizon.net> I assume we're still on for my talk at the New Orleans Perlmongers meeting this Friday night. The talk is called "Building a CPAN-Ready Perl Extension" and is designed as a tutorial, i.e., if you bring your laptop and follow the instructions, you will actually build such an extension. To participate, you'll need a laptop with: 1. Perl 2. your favorite text editor (the slideshow will contain instructions for 'vi', but any editor will do) 3. CPAN module ExtUtils::ModuleMaker (see note below) 4. Three tarballs I've prepared for the talk and your subsequent study. Go to http://mysite.verizon.net/jkeen/perl/nolatalk/index.html and download the three tarballs. The only one that's crucial is: MM-0.02-code-fragments.tar.gz Note: In the course of preparing this tutorial, I had occasion to do a lot of hacking on Geoff Avery's ExtUtils::ModuleMaker, particularly to refine the 'modulemaker' command-line utility which we'll be using in the tutorial. I've submitted the results of this hacking to Geoff, but haven't heard back from him yet. If you'd like to use my (hopefully improved) version of ExtUtils::Modulemaker, it's the tarball with version 0.3205 on my web site listed above. Note: The website is just the 'personal web space' provided me by my DSL provider. It's sometimes cranky and gets "Locked." If Dave gets me the info, I'll upload these tarballs to your ftp site on pm.org. See you (unless there have been some changes I don't know about) Friday at 5:30 pm at FairGrinds Coffeehouse 3133 Ponce de Leon Jim Keenan Brooklyn, NY From EmailLists at SimonDorfman.com Fri Dec 10 12:02:27 2004 From: EmailLists at SimonDorfman.com (Simon Dorfman) Date: Fri Dec 10 12:03:06 2004 Subject: [Neworleans-pm] Talk Friday December 10 2004 In-Reply-To: <71EF5E6B-495C-11D9-9791-000D932B9CD4@verizon.net> Message-ID: See y'all today at 5pm. I'm bringing the video projector so I'll try to get there a little early to set it up. I'm looking forward to it.

Estrade) Date: Sun Dec 12 13:40:03 2004 Subject: [Neworleans-pm] Fwd: [Con] perl position Message-ID: <1102880392.23291.210629563@webmail.messagingengine.com> I don't understand why companies insist on having peeps with CS/EE degrees to admin a unix box. That should be insulting to most CS/EEs. Even the requirement to have experience with time series analysis and with financial markets seems very ambiguous. I just wish they would say up from that they need a jack of all trades unix guy that can help program stuff....oh well, at least it is a job Brett On Sun, 12 Dec 2004 06:40:04 -0600, "Joey Kelly" said: > > ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- > > Subject: Fw: [Con] perl position > Date: Sunday 12 December 2004 3:04 am > From: "Chris Bloch" > To: "Joey Kelly" > > Joey, > Thought you might know someone. > > Chris > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Justin Townsend" > To: > Sent: Thursday, December 09, 2004 7:02 PM > Subject: [Con] perl position > > > Got this email, someone local might be interested: > > > > Our client is seeking a Perl Developer for a direct > > hire position in New Orleans.
