Jonathon, thanks for doing the minutes. Sorry I couldn't make the meeting.
Monday was my first free Monday in 3 months, since my course wrapped up. Unfortunately, the SeaPIG conflicted with the Open Source Meetup, which was at the living computer museum (special session). More unfortunatey, I was in grading hell and missed both meetings. Somehow managed to get the marks in with an hour to spare. Second half of my scripting languages class was all Python. You're welcome to check out the final exam if you want some Python exercises: http://courses.washington.edu/css390/bernstein/ under study questions. I figure any of the questions would make a pretty decent interview question. On Tue, Jun 18, 2013 at 8:04 PM, David Duncan <[email protected]> wrote: > Also think that Monday evening is a good night.
