If we're redirecting anyway, a variant domain name would be acceptable too.

Who from Valueclick can open the doors? Message-ID: Tonight's the night. I've been looking forward to seeing you all again and hopefully learning something new about Perl! Since Paul is not going to be able to be there tonight, is there some other Valueclick employee who is planning on attending and will have the doors open? If we don't have anyone else or if Valueclick's conference room isn't available for tonight's meeting, we either need to select another location (like Barnes & Nobles?) or cancel.

From Daniel.Sherer at healthnet.com Wed Jul 13 15:49:27 2005 From: Daniel.Sherer at healthnet.com (Daniel.Sherer@healthnet.com) Date: Wed, 13 Jul 2005 15:49:27 -0700 Subject: [Thousand-oaks-pm] Tonight's PM meeting, looks like we're not going to have it :-( Message-ID: I haven't heard back that any other Valueclick employee can get us into the conference room, and I don't think there's enough time to select an alternate location and expect many people to show up. I'm sorry that we won't be able to meet in person, but I'm following up on some action items from last month (especially about upgrading the website) and I'll work directly with those volunteers to get some progress before next month. I'm sorry we didn't nail down a stand-in for Paul sooner. I guess I just assumed that someone else would be there, my mistake. Next month, I'll establish either another person or an alternate location that we can publicize on the website and through e-mail.

Message-ID: <20050724175029.7972.qmail@web32813.mail.mud.yahoo.com> Hey fellow Perl enthusiasts, I just received a couple of books from O'Reilly yesterday. One brand-new title, "Perl Best Practices" (cover: American Staghound) http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/perlbp/index.html And an update of an old favorite, "Advanced Perl Programming" (cover: black leopard) http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/advperl2/index.html Should make for nice door prizes on August 10, yes?
