Subject: [pgh-pm] Anyone want a big box of SCSI-II items?
Message-ID: <45251097.1080609@comcast.net>

If you want any of it you have to take the entire box.  It should all be 
good.   I cannot seem to get rid of it.  I posted it on the Pennysaver 
and asked around about it.  It will not sell on eBay.  Those who try to 
sell such things get no bids.  Well, almost none.  Someone posted a 160 
pin cable.  After two bids it is up to $1.04 and there are only 35 
minutes to go on it.  You get the point.

Five PCI/SCSI-II cards of various makes and output pin counts such as 50 
pin and HD.  Passive terminators, cables, m/m, f/f, m/f, old style, new 
(it was then) style, ribbon cables, and even a 32x SCSI drive.

Although it is all outdated now, it was originally very expensive.  How 
many times have we heard that?  Well, it continues.  Either someone 
takes it or it goes to the trash heap.

Thanks

* JavaScript basics - Chris Winters *

JavaScript has a checkered past but has in the last year gained
prominence with AJAX and a number of toolkits designed to make easy
things easy and hard things possible. We'll go over some JavaScript
basics and see some interesting applications of how it's used with
AJAX. And we'll probably talk to Perl at some point, too.


Our meetings are open to anyone interested in Perl, the talk topic, beer, geekdom, etc.  Please
join us.

This is good news. I'm just curious, why was freenode.net chosen over
irc.perl.org?

Message-ID: <8526685f0610310710m2e61f0e1lc0ee0db632ef4c2d@mail.gmail.com>

The Pittsburgh Coding Dojo will be meeting December 5th at 6:00PM at
the Pittsburgh Technology Council.

This single meeting is a November/December meeting combined to allow
for the holiday schedule.

I'll be presenting a "refactoring" problem.  Which will involve some
pre-written, "Ugly" code that we can refactor as a group.

I will try to create a couple examples of bad code (Shouldn't be hard
for me ;-) in different languages to allow the non-Java folks to
participate.

More information will follow later.

Looking forward to seeing all of you.

As usual, checkout http://pghcodingdojo.org for more information.
