So we?ll aim for: Monday 22nd August, 8pm at the Greyfriar in Reading http://www.thegreyfriarreading.co.uk/ I notice that Wednesday 10th August is the one day that works for Charlie, Iain, and David ? just in case you?d like to get together on that day? :-) Neil -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The London Perl Workshop is a FREE one-day conference in central London, UK. LPW is the UK's Premier Perl Event and so is also known as the United Kingdom Perl Workshop (UKPW). Please save the date and register, we hope to see you there! ==== Details DATE: 3rd December 2016 TIME: 08:30 a.m. until late (there will be a sponsored after conference event) - Main talks: 09:00-18:00 WHERE: University of Westminster, Cavendish Campus, 115 New Cavendish Street London W1W 6UW CALL FOR PAPERS DEADLINE: Friday 4th November 2016 SPEAKER NOTIFICATION: Monday 7th November 2016 TWITTER HASHTAG: #lpw2016 WEBSITE: http://act.yapc.eu/lpw2016/ [3] === How Can I Attend, or Present a Talk? If you would like to come then please log in and register, if you have attended an Act event recently you will probably already have a login otherwise you will need to create a new user first. You can do this by using the links in the navigation menu to the left of this text. If you would like to speak then please submit your talk here as soon as possible - the earlier you submit, the more likely your talk is to be accepted. === Is There a Theme? The theme for the London Perl Workshop will be "Changes". At the 2015 LPW Mark Keating announced that he will be standing down at the end of this year's event as organiser of the London Perl Workshop. It is the 10th event he has organised and he feels that now is the time for change. In the future the event will be run by a new LPW team (*announcement of team coming soon*). 2016 is also the year in which Perl 6 started to make changes and the world itself seems to be continually evolving. How does Perl work in this ever changing world? What are the changes you have seen? What further changes do we need? This broad theme shouldn't restrict you from focussing on the small changes as much as the grander ones. Once again we will be inviting people to run a Hardware hacking event. If you have an idea of an event or goal you would like to achieve to coincide with the London Perl Workshop then please contact the organisers. We welcome the submission of talks, discussions, presentations and workshops using other languages, or that have separate technical or engineering objectives. The strength in developing is knowledge from a wide variety of sources. If you use another programming language or system to connect physical and virtual devices together and want to submit or attend the event then we would be honoured to welcome you. If you are connected to a UK Hackspace and wish to attend and display then please approach the organisers with ideas of your requirements. === Sponsors If you would like to sponsor the London Perl Workshop then please do not hesitate to contact Mark Keating (m.keating at shadowcat.co.uk) and he will help you with your proposal. === Submissions Speakers are invited to talk on any subject that relates to this theme, though we will also accept talks on other subjects. We will accept talks from people of any age, background or circumstance, the London Perl Workshop is an inclusive event and we would love to have you attend. This year we hope to have access to three Workshop rooms and would like to run as many workshops as possible. We would also love to refresh the skills of those wishing to engage with the latest developments in the Perl and other languages. If you wish to submit a workshop please use the same submission form as the talks, please note that workshops will be 60, 120 or 240 minutes in length. Please note that we will be starting to accept talks earlier than the proposal deadline and these will be given a priority on the schedule. Talks that match our theme will be given a higher weighting on the schedule. **Please share this announcement as far and wide as you can and feel free to alter it for audience and medium.** SEE YOU ALL AT THE EVENT. -mdk -- Mark Keating | Writer, Photographer, Cat-Herder Director | Shadowcat Systems Limited Enlightened Perl Organisation Lancaster and Morecambe Makers Community Contributor | The Perl Foundation Enlightened Perl Organisation Lancaster and Morecambe Makers FLOSSUK Social Links | http://shadow.cat/blog/mark-keating/ [1] http://linkedin.com/in/markkeating [2] @shadowcat_mdk Shadowcat Systems Limited Is a Company registered in England and Wales.

I ended up doing this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFrpfAUMXyg ...and I'm sure there are security holes all over it, ^_^, ...and while I love making Windows 3.1 word processors such as Ami Pro, relevant to a 2016 web workflow, another friend pointed out IDML to me...Adobe's open document for InDesign. So perhaps I could do something similar to create InDesign documents? Although first I'll have to upgrade from CS3, to something CS4 or higher.... (CS4 is what first supported IDML). I haven't tried out all the CPAN modules you mentioned - what I had seemed to work. ImageMagick is what's generating the EPS files. Yours, Andrew. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Roger Bell_West" To: Sent: Tuesday, July 19, 2016 9:13 AM Subject: Re: [Thamesvalley-pm] MIME:Parser On Tue, Jul 19, 2016 at 03:12:12AM +0100, Andrew wrote: >I mentioned it was a method of head, and not of the parser bit of Mime Tools >I was using (use Mime::Parser;).

Don't do it the hard way! If you do end up needing to do this, use File::Type. >from a trusted source, Until their email address book leaks.

There's also GD, which is a bit older, but I find that Imager covers all the image manipulation I want to do. Creating a reduced-size image with the same aspect ratio, which I think was what you were talking about, is as simple as: my $img=Imager->new(file => $in); my $tn=$img->scale(xpixels => 512, ypixels => 512, type => 'min'); $tn->write(file => $out); which will result in one no bigger than 512 pixels in either dimension. Other options are available. _______________________________________________ Thamesvalley-pm mailing list Thamesvalley-pm at pm.org http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/thamesvalley-pm From neil.bowers at cogendo.com Mon Aug 22 02:45:39 2016 From: neil.bowers at cogendo.com (Neil Bowers) Date: Mon, 22 Aug 2016 10:45:39 +0100 Subject: [Thamesvalley-pm] meeting tonight at the Greyfriar in Reading, 8pm Message-ID: Tonight is August?s get-together, which this month is in Reading: 8pm at the Greyfriar in Reading http://www.thegreyfriarreading.co.uk/ Please shout if you?re definitely going: Roger and I plan to drive over, but if no-one else is going (would be understandable, since it?s August), then we?ll save ourselves the drive and go for a drink at Roger?s local instead :-) Hopefully we?ll see at least a few of you there!
