I'm writing to remind you all that YAPC::NA is only a few weeks away. The conference will be held in Chicago June 26th through 28th and will feature four simultaneous sessions of Perl talks for three days in addition to a job fair, banquet, and auction. After the conference Damian Conway, Randal Schwartz, and brian d foy will be sticking around and conducting professional training classes and extremely reduced prices. This email is a little spammy (sorry about that), but I just wanted to remind you all about the conference and also ask for your help in promoting it so that we can fill up the few spots that are remaining. For more information check out http://www.yapcchicago.org. We invite you to put up posters: http://yapcchicago.org/yapc_poster.pdf http://yapcchicago.org/yapc_poster_white.pdf Or maybe a web banner: http://www.yapcchicago.org/yapc_banner_wide.jpg http://www.yapcchicago.org/yapc_banner_narrow.jpg Thank you for your help in making YAPC a success once again, Josh McAdams From xrwvplyu at ert.com Mon Jun 12 15:14:54 2006 From: xrwvplyu at ert.com (Dirk) Date: Mon, 12 Jun 2006 20:14:54 -0200 Subject: [Van-pm] meet me soon Message-ID: Dear friend, I found your picture on one of the websites, can we talk to each other?

Drop me a line at lxbqa at mailforfreedom.com Sorry Dirk, but I'm only 15. Do you think it's legal for me to meet you in my place without my parents? BTW, my dad is a policeman and my mom works in jail. I hope you don't mind. I'm looking forward to seeing you, Dirk!
