(1) Tech Meeting Ricky Morse, Digital pack-ratting for Tumblr (and maybe XKCD): a legally hypothetical discussion of how to time-shift Tumblr data Tues, Mar. 14th, 2017, 7ish Room E51-376
"I’m a bit of a digital packrat, so I will be showing a tool that I developed to help me hoard Tumblr meme posts. As a bonus, just for this talk I wrote something in Perl 6 that does a similar task." (So if you're looking for ways to capture unstructured (no API) data from the web with Perl, this talk is for you.) Ricky Morse has been using Perl for various things since the late 90s. (3.14 is Pie Day. We usually have Pizza which is Pie and a Pi joke in itself, so i'll bring rectangular cookies that are trigonometric in a different way. If someone brings a dessert Pie, that would be ok too. -- Bill ) Boilerplate details Tech Meetings are held on the 2nd Tuesday of every month at MIT building E51, Sloan School Tang Center [not the other Tang building!] nearer to Kendall Sq than Mass Ave. (directions http://boston-pm.wikispaces.com/MIT+Directions usually plenty of free parking with good highway access but T is better in snow ... ).
