Okay, so I mentioned I could be willing to give a talk or two at a future meetup.
Talks I've done before, and could probably do again without too much crazy work, include: . GNU Wget, recursive web-fetching tool that I maintained for a few years (I am neither wget's original author, nor its current maintainer). Slides and details on that talk are at http://www.lugod.org/presentations/wget/ . Exploring the Terminal, an overview of UNIX terminal features, and useful tools. Includes brief demos of two Unix term-related projects of mine, GNU Teseq and prompt-jobs, as well as an overview of terminal multiplexers like GNU Screen and tmux. http://micah.cowan.name/projects/term-talk/ . Composing Command-Line Apps with 'Plines'. Plines is a project I've been tinkering with, off and on, to compose small "do one thing well"-style Unix commands into pipelines, with a option-parsing frontend to add and remove things at various places in the pipeline. It's being used to drive another project, Niwt, which is a highly-customizable replacement for Wget. Neither have seen a lot of work recently, but I still believe it makes for an interesting talk. :) Other talks I could probably work up, given interest, would be: . Using telnet and openssl to explore how web and email protocols work . Functional programming with Haskell (intro) (Have a great 4th of July, folks!) -mjc _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
