Last night's tech meeting went well. Greg London showed off his new book, Impatient Perl, "a Perl training manual for the hyperactive programmer", and gave out review copies. http://www.greglondon.com/ has more info, as well as HTML and PDF versions of the book, and a link to the print-on-demand publisher lulu.com from which you can purchase a nice bound hard copy of the book.
I showed a short web script I've written for users of http://www.ricochetrobot.com/ , which is an online version of the Ricochet Robot board game. If you enjoy board games and puzzles, check out the site! Ken highlighted some interesting Perl code in a project he's working on, leading to a discussion on methods for securely storing credit card data. We also discussed Tim's templating needs and Chris's DBM needs. Afterwards, we went to Boston Beer Works, where we talked about board games and puzzles, the upcoming remake of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, 30-foot-tall houses of cards, and digital photography. Many thanks to Ken for going to get his laptop in the middle of the meeting, and to Tim for being the BU liaison this time around. Next month's meeting will be on Tuesday, July 13. Ronald P.S. What's your 30-foot house of cards? _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
