From daoswald at gmail.com Tue Jul 8 11:35:23 2014 From: daoswald at gmail.com (David Oswald) Date: Tue, 8 Jul 2014 12:35:23 -0600 Subject: [Saltlake-pm] Perl via Paper Ink Metal and Oil Message-ID: John Whitney has graciously accepted our request to present to Salt Lake Perl Mongers, Provo Linux Users Group, and other UTOS affiliates his fantastic demonstration that marries historical hardware with the modern information superhighway: Perl via Paper Ink Metal and Oil In this presentation John will demonstrate two 1970's era Teletypes that have been refurbished and restored. But that's only the beginning. He has built custom hardware and code running on the hardware that facilitates interfacing this outdated hardware with a modern Linux server, which in turn provides Internet connectivity to the Teletypes. A 50 minute version of this presentation was given at OpenWest, in the Perl track. For this event we're giving John 90 minutes so that he can more fully demonstrate how it all works, as well as so that he can offer a little more "hands on" time to the audience. This special event constitutes Salt Lake Perl Mongers' July meeting. It is at an alternate location, to provide for additional seating beyond what our normal conference room can offer. Here are the event details: Tuesday July 15th at 7:00pm - 9:00pm Perl via Paper Ink Metal and Oil Mountainland Applied Technology College Thanksgiving Point Campus 2301 Ashton Blvd. Lehi, UT 84043 This is a free event. EventBrite registration is requested, but *NOT* required. Registering will just help us to be sure we have adequate refreshments and seating. Registration is at: http://www.eventbrite.com/e/perl-via-paper-ink-metal-and-oil-tickets-11907296043 I hope to see you all there. This is going to be a lot of fun.
