Boston.pm will have a tech meeting on Tuesday, January 10, at MIT, in building E51, room 376 (directions below), starting at 7:15pm*.
Now the bad news: it's going to be another of our "Oh my god, the meeting is next week, and Ronald is scrambling for a topic" meetings! I'm looking at our Tech Meeting Topics page in the wiki (http://boston.pm.org/kwiki/index.cgi?TechMeetingTopics) and the one that strikes me is Personal Tools. So, I'll show you all the script I use to create my photo gallery pages - nothing fancy, but it gets the job done. Do you have a handy Perl tool you've written that you'd like to share? Let me know! RSVP to me if you're planning to attend - rjk-bostonpm(at)tamias.net. Pizza and soda will be provided. Also, a pre-announcement about next month's meeting: we'll be discussing graphing with Perl, inspired by Alex Brelsfoard's recent question on the list. I invite you all to put together a brief presentation on your favorate way to create graphs with Perl! (It's currently scheduled for Tuesday, Feb 14, but I've asked MIT to change it to Wednesday, Feb 15, to not conflict with Valentine's Day.) Ronald * Starting at 7pm doesn't give me enough time to set up the computer and connect to MIT's network. It's okay if you arrive before 7:15, of course.

Building E51 is right around the corner from the T stop. From the Inbound side, facing into Main Street, turn right (toward Boston) and walk down the block. Turn right on Wadsworth Street and walk to the corner of Amherst Street. Building E51 is the building across the street directly in front of you with the metal canopy. Directions by Car: General directions provided by MIT: http://whereis.mit.edu/map-jpg?section=directions The Boston Linux and Unix user group also meets at E51, so you may find their directions helpful as well (keeping in mind that we will be meeting in room 376, not room 315): http://www.blu.org/directions/mit/e51-315.php Parking Information: MIT's Amherst Street Lot is adjacent to the building: http://whereis.mit.edu/map-jpg?selection=P4&Parking=go Officially, a sticker is required to park in the lot. However, we've been told unofficially that there is no enforcement after 3pm weekdays, nor on the weekends. Chances are very slim that cars will be ticketed. Nonetheless, parking in the lot is at your own risk. _______________________________________________ Boston-pm-announce mailing list Boston-pm-announce@mail.pm.org http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm-announce
