Hm. It seems the mailing list and I had a disagreement over what email address I was actually subscribed under. After a bit of a tussle, it's all been worked out, but apparently this message of mine never got posted (thanks to Stuart for pointing that out).
<br><br>So now sit back in your chairs and imagine a time of daisy-filled meadows and enchanted springtimes. A time of last week....<br><br><br><br>Well...since we're introducing ourselves, maybe I finally should: I'm a 4th
<br>year Computer Science student at the U of M, but so far haven't really done<br>anything with Python. So looking at the "Topic Ideas" section on the<br>WinniPUG website makes me wish for "Quick intro to Python for programmers."
<br>Though I did get as far as "Hello, world!" a little while ago. :) These days<br>I mostly code in whatever language my profs tell me to...so it's a lot of C.<br>Some C# and Java. Maybe some Lisp for flavour. With a new semester starting
<br>this week...who knows what'll be going on.<br><br>I've been lurking on this mailing list for months already, but have yet to<br>attend any of the meetings or anything; my absence due mostly to the rather<br>crazy amount of time that can be taken up by a couple of jobs and a whole
<br>bunch of classes. :) But don't worry...I'll show up one of these days.<br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 8/31/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Mike Pfaiffer</b> <<a href="mailto:mpfaiffer@callapple.org" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
