[Omaha.pm] Meetings! 3rd Thr of every month!

[Jay Hannah <jay@jays.net>]

Ok, let's try this for a change...

I hereby declare Omaha Perl Monger meetings will be held the 3rd 
Thursday of every month hereafter. (With a nod to perl.meetup.com.)

See top of our homepage for directions, etc.:

Check out the auto-date source code. Date::Calc is good stuff. Yes, I 
am too lazy to look at a calendar every month and update a web site. 
That's what Palm Pilots and Perl are for. -grin-

Let's follow up on Scott's lengthy IP sorting email* @ the meeting. 
Here's my proposal:

IP Sorting Lab: Benchmark different approaches -- fastest sort wins the 
grand prize**

Components:
- Write a program to generate random IPv4 addresses. Bonus points for 
IPv6.
- Benchmark 10,000+ IPs sorting through Jay's kooky little ip_sort, 
posted in July. Use the Perl Profiler if we get really kooky.
- Benchmark 10,000+ IPs converted to a sortable format first, then run 
through regular sort().
- Perl miscellania. (IO::Multiplex, IO::Socket::INET anyone? That's 
been my life lately.)
- Adjourn and drink beer somewhere.

Ya, I put that date on the website a week before that date, but never 
got around to formulating an agenda and emailing it out. I was there, 
just in case anyone showed up, working w/ Jay Swackhamer on a project 
for the day job. It was my own little secret meeting w/ myself. -grin-

Hopefully this new system will work out peachily for everyone. I'll try 
to remember to send out reminders a week before each mtg.

Cya soon,
