Re: [SEAPY] Fwd: November meeting confirmed

[Richard Fuhr]

I would like to attend, and will be coming ( probably by bus ) from NE Seattle. On 11/16/10 12:22 AM, Matt Stumbaugh wrote: Hey all, Chris and I will be talking about numpy on Thursday. That said, I can't tell if I'm getting nervous b/c we're on the hook for that or if it's that combined with the potential traffic mayhem some of us may encounter trying to get from NE Seattle to Office Nomads and back. I definitely look forward to discussing numpy but I'm pretty apprehensive about the traffic (Metro is going to be rerouting the 68/372/31 lines starting at 2:30 pm). I hate to potentially mess up the meeting planning nor do I want to say let's re-schedule (though my gut tells me it would be wise)... so I'm looking for some objective metric by which to make the decision (not that it's really mine to make) or gain some peace that it's going to be alright. To that end, I'm wondering 1) how many are planning on attending? 2) how many will be departing from/returning to north of 520 or the east side? 3) how many will just decide to skip it b/c traffic is going to be too painful? 4) your thoughts? Here are some links that discuss the associated traffic: http://metrocommute.wordpress.com/2010/11/15/thursday-night-husky-game-expect-uw-area-transit-service-delays-campus-reroutes/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter http://metro.kingcounty.gov/up/rr/reroutes.html http://blog.seattlepi.com/huskies/archives/227886.asp Not directly relevant but interesting, http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/Northwest/King/ExpressLanes/I-5HuskyGames.htm Go Dawgs! (Don't hate b/c they're screwing up our traffic :-) Matt ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Matt Stumbaugh <matt.stumba...@gmail.com> Date: Sat, Nov 13, 2010 at 1:35 AM Subject: Re: [SEAPY] November meeting confirmed To: Mike Orr <sluggos...@gmail.com> So it's at Office Nomads, not the UW. Yeah, I realized that but was thinking it's going to be a nasty p.m. for car or transit.  Especially problematic if one is coming from north of 520.  And getting back north or east on 520 will be bad too. I can man up and get there but think there may be some major headaches for anyone planning on getting to/from the meeting between 3:30 to 10:30 pm.

That's the week before Thanksgiving. The meeting will be at Office Nomads, 7-9pm. Chris Barker will give his long-awaited talk about NumPy. Make that Chris Barker and Matt Stumbaugh. Chris, can you remind us what specifically you'll be covering? We haven't nailed down the outline yet, but we'll introduce numpy, discuss why you'd want to us it (even if you aren't crunching numbers), and show some nifty examples. We'll put a more detailed outline in the Wiki at some point. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R            (206) 526-6959   voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE   (206) 526-6329   fax Seattle, WA  98115       (206) 526-6317   main reception chris.bar...@noaa.gov -- Mike Orr <sluggos...@gmail.com>
