This is the twentieth weekly summary of the London Perl Mongers
mailing list. You may all buy me a drink. For the quiet week starting
2001-06-04:
Don't forget the London.pm website for meetings etc. The next meeting
is an social meeting on Thursday 7th June (don't forget to vote!)
at the Penderel's Oak:
http://london.pm.org/
Dave Cross asked for some speakers for the next technical meeting on
the 21st June. This'd be a good time to practice those yapc::Europe
talks! Robin Houston threatened to "do something about Perl regular
expressions and algorithmic complexity"...
A thread on crazy golf suddenly changed into a thread about old
religions such as the Celts, why drinking blood has gone out of style
(apart from Angel), more holidays, and whether there were any Masai
tribesperson on the list. Anyone? Anyone?
Dave Cross also plugged Inline::PERL:

Dave Cross also organised an election drinking spree, leaving the
Penderel's Oak earlyish tomorrow and drinking at his house for the
next couple of hours. Greg suggested a CGI competition to visualise
numbers "in classic Peter Snow style".
Marcel Grunauer asked who was gonna be at YAPC::NA in Montreal next
week. Looks like Marcel, James, and I will be there. Now, about those
slides I should have done...
Dean Wilson released another wonderful "London Community
News". Another one will be out soon with updated information.
Other choice quotes from Robin Szemeti:
<mental image of Greg and Piers, having had a few pints, lurching
towards each other in a corner dance singing 'hey ho fiddle eye ho'
and brandishing morris sticks and handkerchiefs whilst jangling like
a tambourine on heat> hmmm .. maybe I need to see this.

Dominic Mitchell's:
Is "Ultimate Evil" related to "Evil Dave"? If so, will he discuss
the project with us?
Jonathan Peterson's:
"Passivation is the opposite of activation. " Only a Java programmer
could be that f**cking bloody minded, pig ignorant, or
both. Amusingly, ejbPassivate is a method of entity beans, which
look suspiciously like on of the most stupid things I've ever come
across. But then I'm not a real programmer.
Jonathan Stowe's:
Oh my word, why *is* Nathan Barley on 18:23 from Cannon Street?
Dave Cross (busy man this week) released Tie::Hash::Cannabinol:
And where are those London.pm tshirts, eh?, Leon
