From richard at rushlogistics.com Sun Jan 6 13:39:32 2008 From: richard at rushlogistics.com (Richard Reina) Date: Sun, 6 Jan 2008 13:39:32 -0800 (PST) Subject: [WindyCity-pm] perl failover scripts? Message-ID: <588568.62797.qm@web615.biz.mail.mud.yahoo.com> I need to ensure continuity of a small network 10 machines that access a MySQL server and two slaves. I have looked into failover scripts that change the IP of the server to the slave in case of failure but aside from being a bit complicated to configure and install, they seem to be a drawback in that they give me yet another piece of software to maintain, or at least look after. Instead, writing a simple module ( DBconnecter.pm ) to manage connections and switch to a slave should the master be unresponsive seems easier -- although it would mean hunting down all the "my $dbh = DBI->IP,$user,$pass" calls in thousands of lines of code that run on local clients and replace them with calls to the DBconnector module. That being said it still seems like a less complicated path. I was hoping for input as to whether or not this is a viable strategy. Is there a drawback that I'm missing? Any Input, Pro or Con would be greatly appreciated as this is unchartered territory for me. Thanks for your attention. Richard Your beliefs become your thoughts. Your thoughts become your words.

There might be failover protection that you can implement at the database level that would do the trick.

After midnight Central on Saturday, January 12th, the rate for non-students will double from $20 to $40. Frozen Perl 2008 is a one-day Perl workshop happening on Saturday, February 16th, with a great schedule of speakers. The theme is "Perl in Practice", and there are a lot of great talks. We have two tracks of talks. For folks new to Perl, there is a strong slate of talks for beginners, including introductions to OOP, testing, and more. For more experienced Perlers, there are talks on Moose, Catalyst, and all sorts of interesting Perl wizardry. Registration includes breakfast and lunch, and possibly a t-shirt, all for the ridiculously cheap price of $20. If you're coming from out of town, there is a group rate at the nearby Days Inn. There will also be an all-day hackathon on Sunday, February 17th for the true geeks. For more information, check out the website at http://www.frozen-perl.org/. You can sign up online, so don't delay. We hope to see you there.

Kent will be talking about "Simple Photo Processing and Web Display with Perl". He has a small photo gallery on his website and shares some steps he used in creating a nearly automatic workflow of getting pictures from his camera to his gallery using Perl. Making an appearance in the discussion: Imager, MIME::Lite, Email::MIME::Attachment::Stripper, Image::ExifTool, Flickr, AJAX, and Chuck Norris. Kent is a software engineer and sometimes system administrator, presently plying his perl programming prowess at Performics in Chicago. He has a beautiful wife Lisa, a little black poodle/terrier mix named Spike, and two cats named Shadow and Butterscotch, all of which provide plenty of excuses to refine and hone his photography and photographic gallery chops. If you haven't been to a meeting before, please RSVP to jmcadams at performics.com so that you won't get harassed by security at the door :) See you on the 22nd!

Here's the link: http://www.macheist.com/ As I write this, there are 15 more hours to buy the bundle of apps, including Snapz Pro X, for $50. It's a real bargain considering that the normal price of Snapz Pro X alone is $69. Josh also mentioned the super secret URL for YAPC::NA. There hasn't been a formal announcement yet, but Josh has been setting up the conference website in preparation for its announcement: http://conferences.mongueurs.net/yn2008/ -- brian d foy http://www.pair.com/~comdog/ From kent at c2group.net Thu Jan 24 08:54:43 2008 From: kent at c2group.net (Kent Cowgill) Date: Thu, 24 Jan 2008 10:54:43 -0600 Subject: [WindyCity-pm] Meeting Tuesday January 22nd In-Reply-To: <49d805d70801092011g3fd796eaqbfffd55f3d61659a@mail.gmail.com> References: <49d805d70801092011g3fd796eaqbfffd55f3d61659a@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <00720C17-9C23-43F4-A9A4-B9C6B53F5F0A@c2group.net> On Jan 9, 2008, at 10:11 PM, Joshua McAdams wrote: > Kent will be talking about "Simple Photo Processing and Web Display > with Perl".

FYI, I've posted the slides from this talk on slideshare.net: http://www.slideshare.net/kcowgill/simple-photo-processing-and-web- display-with-perl I also captured video and am working on getting it in a format conducive to downloading and sharing. -Kent Cowgill C2 Group, Inc. kent at c2group.net http://www.c2group.net 312.804.0160 From brian.d.foy at gmail.com Thu Jan 24 09:16:09 2008 From: brian.d.foy at gmail.com (brian d foy) Date: Thu, 24 Jan 2008 11:16:09 -0600 Subject: [WindyCity-pm] February meeting: Perl 5.10 lightning talks Message-ID: <2715accf0801240916g67c85009kc657dd54a53d5f95@mail.gmail.com> Josh and I were going to do a couple of short 5.10 talks for the meeting on February 19, but I found out I already have plans :( So, who would like to do the talks I was going to do? I chose named captures and given-when, and I can give the lucky speaker the new Learning Perl sections on that, The Perl Review articles I wrote abot them, and so on. Also, if anyone wants to try their hand at a very short talk, there are a lot of easy 5.10 features: * stacked file test operators: ( -r -w $file ) instead of ( -w $file and -r $file ) * new whitespace character classes \v and \h for vertical and horizontal whitespace * relative backreferences, so \g{-1} refers to the last capture. no more counting and shifting! * the new greedier quantifier modifier. Add a + after any quantifier and it prevents backtracking for that part: Although I can't make it, I'll still supply incentives for anyone who speaks: there's a free Catalyst book in it for someone. :) -- brian d foy http://www.pair.com/~comdog/ From mongers at bsod.net Thu Jan 24 09:21:18 2008 From: mongers at bsod.net (Pete Krawczyk) Date: Thu, 24 Jan 2008 11:21:18 -0600 (CST) Subject: [WindyCity-pm] February meeting: Perl 5.10 lightning talks In-Reply-To: <2715accf0801240916g67c85009kc657dd54a53d5f95@mail.gmail.com> References: <2715accf0801240916g67c85009kc657dd54a53d5f95@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: Subject: [WindyCity-pm] February meeting: Perl 5.10 lightning talks From: brian d foy Date: Thu, 24 Jan 2008 11:16:09 -0600 }Josh and I were going to do a couple of short 5.10 talks for the }meeting on February 19, but I found out I already have plans :( Unless something's changed, the meeting should be Feb. 26th, as it's the 4th Tuesday.

Did we change to the 3rd? No, apparently I just can't count and I'm an idiot (so that hasn't changed). It's still the 4th Tuesday, which means I can now come. :) Still, anyone who wants to give a short Perl 5.10 talk, there's plenty of room. -- brian d foy http://www.pair.com/~comdog/
