Casey, I work for a small business in downtown Pittsburgh. Last year we hired a programmer, purchased a cart and set up shop on the internet. As so often happens our programmer found a full time job and left. After several months of searching we found a replacement and then without notice he has also left. This leaves me in a dangerous situation as I know just enough to get by updating and changing simple things with our site and I am heading into the busy holiday season. We have some Perl issues that are far beyond my understanding and god forbid a major problem breaks out. I was hoping you may have a suggestion as to where I could find someone who has a firm understanding of Perl, an interest in working freelance for a retail website and the patience to deal with me? I would appreciate any suggestions that you may have. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. Have a great holiday, Carla Copenhaver Specialty Lugagge 915 Liberty Ave. Pittsburgh, PA. 15222 p. 412-281-3852 f. 412-281-9905 9:00am to 5:30pm (est) ----- End forwarded message ----- Casey West -- "I have traveled the length and breadth of this country and talked with the best people, and I can assure you that data processing is a fad that won't last out the year." -- The editor in charge of business books for Prentice Hall, 1957 From robertblackwell at yahoo.com Wed Dec 3 13:43:41 2003 From: robertblackwell at yahoo.com (robertblackwell) Date: Mon Aug 2 21:34:58 2004 Subject: [pgh-pm] Geek night reminder In-Reply-To: <20031202152329.GB74801@geeknest.com> References: <20031202152329.GB74801@geeknest.com> Message-ID: <3FCE3CED.3000007@yahoo.com> Just a reminder for the forgetful. http://www.pghgeeks.org/ *Geek Night the 32nd* will be Thursday, December 4 at the Church Brew Works!
