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.:
http://omaha.pm.org/
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.

Was there a meeting last week? I was wondering when the next Perl
meeting was going to me, it seems like's been about a month? So I
checked the website and it says there was a meeting last week! Are
meeting notices not posted to the list? They are for the Omaha LUG
and the Sioux City LUG. I find them very helpful.
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,
