See http://act.yapcna.org/2012/talk/11 for an abstract. Second, Fosscon [1] is this weekend. I'm doing a workshop there on Octopress, and it might be nice to do a run through. Here's my abstract: Getting Started with Octopress: A Blogging Framework for Hackers Octopress is a blogging framework designed for Jekyll, the open source static blogging engine that powers Github Pages. Octopress is designed for hackers, and has a number of features for sharing code on your blog. In this workshop we?ll work through the process of installing, customizing and deploying Octopress. My one caveat is that there's not much perl involved (Octopress is written in ruby) but I can try to sneak some in for our group. Please reply to the list if you have a preference for either topic.

I see - please forgive me in advance if you are already well aware of these options, and have rejected them. I presume you have access to your router; do you know how to forward a port to an internal machine? The other piece of the puzzle is to use dyndns / no-ip.org or some similar service for keeping a hostname updated with your presumably-non-static IP. If you want to discuss it, or want a hand, feel free to jump on the IRC channel (I am on there now, too). irc.perl.org => #phl.pm Cheers, Nate From trockij at gmail.com Fri Aug 17 07:50:48 2012 From: trockij at gmail.com (Jim Trocki) Date: Fri, 17 Aug 2012 10:50:48 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [Philadelphia-pm] Vaguely Perl-related In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: On Fri, 17 Aug 2012, Kurt Starsinic wrote: > Hi all, > > Any suggestions for a free-as-in-beer hosting service for a small CGI > thing?

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Yes, I would be interested. As maybe a point of related interest to others in this thread, I just finished gluing up something less overkill than graphite at work, where we needed to explore a bunch of time series data by a handful of people and discuss the graphs by mail. The interactive zoom and pan of Gnuplot was attractive for diving into a graph for geeks but you can't get that on a web page for non geeks. Matlab is okay but you need a bunch of licenses and Windows and some other issues. We ended up: - stream the data into some MySQL keyed by time, at around a million rows/day - pull it out with a simple Perl with CGI and DBI that does a time constrained query - do some domain math on it - spew a big chunk of HTML and javascript - the JS contains a simple array of data for the query and a callout to http://dygraphs.com to do the graphing dygraphs gives you zoom and pan over simple time series. It also lets you link graphs so that as you zoom and pan one of them, the other graphs follow along. This was great for us to show different attributes on different Y scales at once. You can also just grab a link from the address bar to pass the CGI parameters to friends to stick in mail or wiki.
