Because what I discovered in the Big Easy this time is that even if a menu says "debris-style sandwich," there is no substitute for the real thing at Mothers. Not even close. I didn't get out lunch breaks until 12:30 each day, when there would already be a line around the block at Mothers. -- Sincerely, Chris Calloway http://www.secoora.org office: 332 Chapman Hall phone: (919) 599-3530 mail: Campus Box #3300, UNC-CH, Chapel Hill, NC 27599 From cbc at unc.edu Mon Jun 16 21:57:47 2008 From: cbc at unc.edu (Chris Calloway) Date: Mon, 16 Jun 2008 15:57:47 -0400 Subject: [TriZPUG] Python Code Swarm Message-ID: <4856C5BB.7090408@unc.edu> Cool vizualization: http://www.vimeo.com/1093745 -- Sincerely, Chris Calloway http://www.secoora.org office: 332 Chapman Hall phone: (919) 599-3530 mail: Campus Box #3300, UNC-CH, Chapel Hill, NC 27599 From cbc at unc.edu Tue Jun 17 00:11:31 2008 From: cbc at unc.edu (Chris Calloway) Date: Mon, 16 Jun 2008 18:11:31 -0400 Subject: [TriZPUG] Early Bird Registration Reminder Message-ID: <4856E513.70306@unc.edu> Just a reminder, we're at the two week warning on early bird registration for PyCamp.

So, remember, there's a meeting, friends :). It's next Tuesday, June 26th at Philips Hall on the UNC Chapel Hill campus. Details: http://trizpug.org/Members/cbc/jun-08-mtg/ No set topic this month, it's a free-for-all! I'm planning to do a brief talk about the transition I'm making in my Plone methodology site (http://www.unc.edu/~jj/plone) from static HTML to XML+XSLT converted into XHTML, powered and enhanced by Python (it's been even more fun than it sounds). Additional topics are welcome, as always. That could mean formal presentations, lightning talks, or just a rap session about anything even remotely relevant. Even hardly remotely (for serious). If you need help with getting here, parking or any other logistical issue, don't hesitate to drop me an e-mail, I'll do whatever I can to help out. Punch and Pie. JJ p.s. the "Punch and Pie" part is a joke, but my extra-awesome wife will be providing some extra-awesome homemade baked goods for the meeting. Come help me eat them! :) From Tom_Roche at pobox.com Wed Jun 18 14:20:55 2008 From: Tom_Roche at pobox.com (Tom Roche) Date: Wed, 18 Jun 2008 08:20:55 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [TriZPUG] June Meeting Reminder Message-ID: <20080618122056.0F69611EEBB@front-topsail.isis.unc.edu> Josh Johnson Tue, 17 Jun 2008 13:16:47 -0400 > So, remember, there's a meeting, friends :).
