Fortunately, Andrew McMillan has already 'volunteered' to tell us what he knows about calendaring standards. Which means that you've got another month to learn more about Lua :-) Cheers Grant From grant at mclean.net.nz Sun Sep 12 17:52:10 2010 From: grant at mclean.net.nz (Grant McLean) Date: Mon, 13 Sep 2010 12:52:10 +1200 Subject: [Wellington-pm] Sept.

I don't have any of the 3 listed explicitly, but I have several books which I've had for at least two months (since I didn't make it last month). Those I can see right now: * Confession of a Public Speaker: read, and will return for sure - enjoyable read and recommended * Perls of Wisdom: currently reading, probably will have finished by Oct meeting * Greasemonkey Hacks: partly read, yell if you want it There's also an O'Reilly magazine/book about making stuff which I can't locate right now. Not started that yet, but if you want it I'm happy to give it up for now. I think that's all I have currently.

We already have a copy of all those except the MySQL one.
