OK mea culpa mea culpa (look it up!) I was supposed to organise a programming problem for next week's meeting, (Tuesday 12 July, St Albans) and four or five people were to offer a solution in their favourite scripting language:
Volker Kuhlmann: Bourne Shell, etc. ( bash, csh, ksh, zsh, etc. ) John Carter: Ruby. Carl Cerecke: Python. Steve Holdoway: PHP. Zane Gilmore: Perl. (maybe others? was this the final list?) Unfortunately I have been too busy and/or too slack to arrange a suitable problem and inform the presenters, to give them time to prepare. Part of my problem is getting to grips with a problem that is not completely trivial, but can be presented in a short 20 minute segment, and which possibly shows off the best and worst in each language. Also Steve Holdaway is away, or has been, or something. OK stop making excuses Nick, you just haven't done it! Given that the meeting is a few days away only, I'll let them off the hook (unless they are particularly keen to work on a presentation before Tuesday) and offer myself to undertake a demo of my latest pet project - my mythtv personal digital video recorder. This would put the scripting thing off until August, and whatever was planned for august off for another month. C'est la vie. So can we hear about: 1. whether people are interested in mythtv? (with a bit of multimedia know-how thrown in if desired) 2. whether people, particularly the presenters, would be ok with the scripting session being moved to August? Cheers and apologies, Nick. -- Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
