[Boston.pm] (no subject)

Hello Fellow Perl Mongers,

I will be taking the RT training from Best Practical on March 5 & 6,
2012. This puts me in Boston from Friday March 2nd  to Tuesday March
6th.

I am wondering if anyone wants to get together for beer, dinner and such.

Also if you know of any geeky things like a Hacker Space or Linux User
Group meeting, etc that I should not miss please give me a heads up.

Looking forward to my first time in Boston hope to meet up with some
Fellow Perl Mongers.

If nothing else I expect a good cup of cocoa from someone.

Thanks
Robert Blackwell

Looks like this group has some robotics stuff going on that week!

The only other public-looking HS I know of is DorkBot, but I can't
tell if they're active any more:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/dorkbotboston

I'm all-but-certain that the MIT and BU groups are students-only.

unfortunately, best friends cocoa shut down last year. couldn't make it 
work. if anyone know someone who would be interested in taking it over 
and doing right by it (needs major food marketing fu), send them my way.

as for a social event for robert, i can help there but i may have issues 
attending (dunno for sure yet). more as it get a bit closer to his arrival.

thanx,

uri

[Boston.pm] possible talk for next week

hi all,

i just came up with a possible talk for next week. i have been working 
with a client helping them rewrite a cgi program. yep, i said cgi! they 
use a wacky templating system which requires package globals to access 
data! anyhow, it has slowly been rewritten (still using that templater 
for now) and is much better in a myriad of ways. so i want to show it as 
a before and after talk. we can look at the before and marvel at the 
many poor coding things. and then ooh and aah at the after version and 
it much cleaner code. it still needs work but the change is remarkable. 
the client did almost all the work with my feedback and supervision.

any interest in this?

thanx,

uri

Re: [Boston.pm] possible talk for next week

So far we have one speaker and one audience willing to do Boston.pm on
Valentine's .

Anyone else?  If enough we'll meet, if not, we might reschedule Uri.
(Federico is March.)
