[Baypiggies] Registration & Information for October 11th meeting

[Max Slimmer]

good idea, but though I am happy to provide rides, I wouldn't go looking for
them, and don't regularly read the wiki

Should we add a rides needed section to the wiki?

I will be driving down to meeting from the city (financial district), so can
probably give you a ride.

Hello Baypiggies.

I'd like to take a quick moment to introduce myself before I ask for a ride
from San Francisco to the Baypiggies Google meeting.

I am a new-to-california-transplant that has been here just over a month. I
was hired to do Python programming. So, I took my first two weeks going
through "Learning Python" front to back. I also have been doing extra
"homework": In the evenings, I'd watch a new Monte Python Flying Circus
through Netflix, and then send off the DVD to keep the cycle going. I'm
almost through the series ;)

I've also since written two applications (although small) with Python. I've
not yet gone through "System Programming with Python." (I don't have either
book in front of me and could have been mistaken on exact title names).

I couldn't go to the first Bay Piggies meeting because I had guests in town
and was just settling in myself. I was really *really* looking forward to
going.

This morning, while bicycling to work, I decided to be stupid and try to
jump a curb at 35ish mph (or however fast traffic was). Worse, I didn't
actually "jump" and my angle to the curb was about 25 degrees. Can you say
"Gumby." Needless to say, my left shoulder blade is "deformed" (bones aren't
in their normal place).

All of this, including the morning in ER, was fun - my first injury in
California =) (Hey, when you're a new transplant, even bike injuries are
exciting).

But, I'm suddenly realizing, I can't go to Baypiggies if I don't get a ride.
Public transportation doesn't run late enough for the return trip. And, it
looks like I *won't* be driving for 6-8 weeks.


Does anyone commute from San Francisco or Emeryville? I don't want to
register unless I know I can make it.


Cheers,


Glen Jarvis
