[CentralOH] 2015-11-03 Byrne's Pub Napkin Scribbles: TPoSaNA; fortran vb assembler pascal lopsa perl apis greeks usb gig ethernet Feynman lectures

[jep200404 at columbus.rr.com]

The weather was absolutely glorious on the patio at Byrne's Pub.
Five made it.

    formally matriculated at on-line school
    just passed Python test
    brought The Practice of System and Network Administration
    Second Edition
    Thomas A Limoncelli, Christina J. Jogan, and Strata R. Chalup
    with Hello Kitty bookmarks

Fortran still important
VisualBasic <ugh>
Assembler still has very narrow niche
Pascal not practical

LOPSA discussed languages
    Rob Kinyon presented
Perl still relevant

a language itself may be easy to learn,
but learning the libraries (and APIs) takes much time

Thanks for making it available for free on-line.
Thanks for taking care so that it renders on a wide variety of devices.

the hummus is pretty spicy.
    the green onions and tomato on top are nice
the french fries were good.
Cubano was good and could have used fruit
Coney Dog was small but very loaded and good
one beverage was served in a glass with lipstick
