Or _today_, in Tokyo and Sydney. How on Earth do you expect people in Sydney to hop a plane, claim their luggage at Sky Harbor, and make it to the meeting in 12 and a half hours? I mean, bagge claim *alone*... Re: the last meeting, I didn't see an announcement... -scott On 0, "Douglas E. Miles" wrote: > > Please RSVP... (I hope people will show up.

From vodhner at cox.net Mon Sep 6 13:56:11 2004 From: vodhner at cox.net (Victor Odhner) Date: Mon Sep 6 13:56:16 2004 Subject: [Phoenix-pm] Perl Contract 3-6 months Message-ID: <413CB2CB.4060407@cox.net> My employer is looking for an experienced programmer with solid (not necessarily wizard-level) knowledge of Perl, for a contract lasting three to six months. There's some prospect of direct employment, but you should not bank on that to begin with. Having built and *maintained* real applications for real users is a basic requirement. Comfort with Perl's basic work-horse features is a must. Any prior contact with the hospitality industry (especially having worked behind a hotel desk or in reservations) would be a definite plus, but is by no means required. Part time work may be available, but for a serious number of hours, at least partly during the business day for coordination purposes. The application is a project that I have started and will remain connected with, in which we need to simulate a human interaction with a transaction system to confirm that the inventory has been loaded correctly. So this involves basic pattern matching, and some sort of rules-driven structure that will respond robustly to various situation. For example, one important step is to cancel the transaction without fail as soon as it's made, before disconnecting, so that our clients won't be annoyed by a flood of dummy transactions. We have to do this with four different remote systems, which are not under our control -- we only provide them with data. The software will not be very complex, maybe 8,000 to 10,000 lines per program, but must be *very* flexible and maintainable. It needs to produce a nice crisp report of successful sells as our "proof" that we have loaded the data, or some handy diagnostics to help track down what data is missing. Please contact me.

Everyone treats Phoenix like a vast rest stop. I certainly have no loyalty to it but I can't leave. If New Jersey is the Armpit of America, then Phoenix surely must be the Groin. We gotta get old ladies attending. *They're* moving to Phoenix in droves. Perhaps Perl and Bridge. Or Perl and Quilting. Or or or... Perl and "Native" Art. Well, Brock, if you're ever in town (say at Four Peaks for instance), drop us a post and maybe we'll join you. Unless we're being old ladies ourselves. -scott On 0, Brock wrote: > > Hows it going with you'all? > > I moved to flagstaff, so I may not be able to attend so many meetings as > I used to (haha).
