use Perl

The San Diego Perl Mongers group will be having their regularly scheduled meeting at 7:00pm on Monday, November 12, 2007. Not so regular, however, is what we'll be doing. We have a presentation this month! David Moore will be joining us to talk about the different Perl/C interfaces, SWIG and XS. It should be interesting, so come on out and join us.

We'll be meeting at in Qualcomm's building Q auditorium.

Damian Conway is coming to town, and the San Diego Perl Mongers are pleased to be hosting him for an evening seminar. Damian will be presenting something we're all sure to fine extremely interesting.

Sex and Violence: Social and Technical Lessons from the Perl 6 Project

For details and directions, see the SanDiego.pm web site.

As mentioned by Schwern, Technorati requires you to claim your blog with a special post. I've already done so at my personal, not-always-Perl-y blog.

Now I'm doing it here. Don’t mind the smell, I’m sure it’ll clear up soon.

I was recently tasked to work with a development team in another department at work. During a code review to get me up to speed on their project, I asked why all of their classes had an identical new() subroutine, even though many of them inherited from the same parent class.

The lead developer told me, "You can't inherit new in Perl."

It hasn't been a very fun project to work on.

I'm in Portland, Oregon, for OSCON 2007. I'm going to try to write about it as much as possible and post as many pictures as possible for all of my fellow Perl Mongers who couldn't make it. For any of my fellow Perl Mongers who are here in Portland, drop me a line. I'd love to have a Perl BOF or even grab a pint.

Come join the myriad members of the San Diego Perl Mongers as they meet once again to discuss, debate, deconstruct, and sometimes even deviate from all things Perl.

We never have an agenda, but we always have a good time.

It's that time of the month again. Time for the regular gathering of the slightly irregular Perl Mongers in San Diego.

People will begin descending on Panera Bread in Mira Mesa on Monday, 11 June 2007 at 7:00pm (and generally stay until they've had enough, or 9:00pm, whichever comes first). We've had a great turnout all year, so feel free to join us. You're guaranteed to have a great time. And, if you don't, you'll receive a full refund of your membership dues[0]. Directions and such can be found on our web site, SanDiego.pm.org.

Sadly, I won't be able to attend this month's meeting. My day job is sending me to Toronto for training. I'll be in our #SanDiego.pm channel on Freenode, attending the meeting remotely. Hopefully a few of my camel compatriots will keep me up to date on all the happenings.

[0] Membership dues for the San Diego chapter of the Perl Mongers is $0.00 per annum.

I've been remiss in announcing meetings for the San Diego chapter of the Perl Mongers. The last meeting I announced was February. Now I'm finally announcing the meeting for May on the same day as the meeting. Between this and not putting together a new web site in the four months I've had it under my control, I am a terrible example of a Perl Monger cheerleader.

That said, SanDiego.pm is having its general meeting tonight, Monday, May 14, 2007 at 7:00pm. As always, we meet at Panera Bread (free wi-fi!) in Mira Mesa. Directions and such can be found on our web site, SanDiego.pm.org.

Tonight, one of our members is celebrating their birthday. What a fantastic way to celebrate the anniversary of one's birth. And I should know. I spent my last birthday at our January gathering.

On Monday, 12 February 2007, the San Diego Perl Mongers will be having our monthly meeting at Panera Bread in Mira Mesa. Feel welcome to drop by to chat about all things Perl, or anything else that sounds interesting.

Last month we were fortunate enough to have Randal Schwartz drop by for a chat. This month, I've been made to promise to bring my good friend Christel of Irssi, Gentoo, ReactOS, Freenode, and FOSSCON fame. It promises to be a good time.

For more about the San Diego Perl Mongers as well as where and when to find us, check out our web home at sandiego.pm.org.

At our last meeting on 8 Jan, the SanDiego.pm webmaster torch was passed to me. I have big plans for the web site, focusing on community involvement.

My first order of business was to follow the lead of brian d foy and The Perl Review. There now exists a Google calendar for SanDiego.pm. Why Google? Well, I think brian points out the reasons quite well in his journal entry.

We only have one event posted so far, our monthly meeting. Hopefully it won't be long until we have special events and socials, too.
