[0]Qiang writes "just a quick announcement that PerlChina is going to
host a Beijing Perl Workshop on Nov 08, 2008.

It is jointly organized with the postgresql china that means there will
be some postgresql talks as well. We have also secured few sponsorships
to fly Jesse Vincent and two other postgresql hackers to the workshop.
The conference website is not ready yet (having problem finding someone
from ACT to move our test ACT site into production). If you are planning
a trip to beijing in the early November, send a email to
conference[at]perlchina.org to register the workshop, or even better come
give a talk(20,40 minutes or lighting talk)!"

Both Gabor and Herbert have been discussing what they see as desirable in
an editor.

I think most of the specifics of what this tool should do or that tool
should do are largely irrelevant, because as a user interface we're
facing what is fundamentally an "Open Problem".

What we can do, however, is identify the underlying effects that we need
to achieve in the creation of tools for wide audiences, and then refer
back to effects when looking at individual features.

  Ladies and Gentlemen, Techies and Programmers,

  The San Diego Perl Mongers are happy to announce, for one night only,
  the one and only Damian Conway! He will be appearing Monday night,
  September 29 at the Qualcomm Building Q Auditorium. Please arrive by
  7 PM to hear him muse on a myriad of topics, including, but not
  limited to (in his own words):

    modern archaeological techniques, bidirectional cross- dressing,
    Ancient Greeks hackers, improbable romances, the real Club Med,
    why programmers shouldn't frequent casinos, the language of
    moisture vaporators, C++ mysticism, conversational Latin, state
    machines on steroids, feeding the dog the old-fashioned way, the
    shocking truth about anime, programming without variables or
    subroutines, the Four Voids of the Apocalypse, Microsoft's new
    advertising campaign, what the Romans used instead of braces,
    drunken stonemasons, the ancient probabilistic wisdom of bodkins,
    how to kill a language with a single byte, and the price of fish.

  Note: Topics are subject to change without notice, reason, or
  warning, so please pay attention!

  So please come on by and learn something new. Bring some friends if
  you like, and have fun in the process.

  Please let me know if there are any questions.

Directions can be found on the San Diego Perl Mongers [0]web site.
