Phoenix.pm: Meeting 08/02/2001

[Svirskas Rob-ERS007]

I won't be able to make it this week, but if anyone's interested in the five days of madness and mayhem commonly referred to as the "O'Reilly Open Source Convention", I can give a brief on it next meeting. I'm still recovering from Damian Conway's talk on "SelfGOL", a 999-byte viral quine that also manages to animate banner text and play Conway's "Game of Life".
                                             - Rob

First post!!!
(Sorry, my IQ is attached to the LA power grid. It kinda goes up
and down throughout the day...)

For some time in the future, I've got a couple of small apps
I can present... Yes, I take requests, and require motivation =)

1) Poll booth software that allows users to place multiple votes,
   and divides their single vote into "virtual" smaller votes.
   [To do - instant run-offs, then I can sell it to the US gov't].

2) Mail sorting, indexing, uniquifing software with a hand full
   of indexes and reports.

3) "How to" for desinging credit card gateway clients (all banks
   are basicly the same but each different and undocumented).

4) An expandy-contracty-thing for drilling down within a document.

5) Perl interface to the Linux module that loads new microcode
   into Intel PIII chips

6) I'm at the library right now looking at sime simple fuzzy logic 
   software in C that I could be persuaded to translate to Perl

7) Braindead webserver in Perl (about 60 lines long, don't remember).

One of those is a decoy, but I'm curious to see if anyone asks for it =)
Mind you, this is only if no one has anything...

[trying this again, first attempt seems to have got lost.. email doesnt
work for me]
