(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.

We received an email sent to Boston.pm's Meetup manager Tom:
"Vault, the Linux storage & filesystems conference, March 22-23, 2017
