    Olaf Alders arranged to have Dave Cross come speak at a meeting of the Toronto Perl Mongers recently, and the video has now been posted on the TPRF channel. Here's the link to the Youtube video: link

    Update: Made the URL into a link. And how long have you been visiting this site? Goof.

    For a long time, I had a link in my .sig going to Groklaw. I heard that as of December 2024, this link is dead. Still, thanks to PJ for all your work, we owe you so much. RIP Groklaw -- 2003 to 2013.

    Olaf Alders arranged to have Randal Schwartz come speak at a meeting of the Toronto Perl Mongers recently, and the video has now been posted on the TPRF channel. I've heard some of this history before, but it was really interesting to hear it directly from Randal.

    Not to be outdone (much), the PDL community has made a PDL Advent calendar: https://pdl.perl.org/advent/index.html. Big up to Ea for the idea and impetus behind it.

    There are a couple of episodes beyond today's (the 1st) up already, so you can binge it if you like. Or, you can keep your cool and just read one per day. I won't tell you how to best enjoy it!

    Comments welcome.

Toronto Perl Mongers present Dave Cross: Still Data Munging with Perl

    Well-known Perl author Dave Cross will be giving a talk titled Still Data Munging with Perl at 4pm Toronto time (8pm London time), on March 27, 2025. The lu.ma event page is here; please register!

    Like the Randall Schwartz event, this will be a virtual event. A link will be posted to the page once we have that organized.

    PS There are currently 134 people signed up for Randall's talk. I figured we'd be doing well if we got 25 people. The Perl community is so cool.

    Alex / talexb / Toronto

    Thanks PJ. We owe you so much. Groklaw -- RIP -- 2003 to 2013.

Toronto Perl Mongers present Randal Schwartz: Half My Life with Perl

    As part of year 25 of The Perl Advent Calendar, Perl luminary and co-author of O’Reilly’s “Learning Perl” Randal Schwartz will be giving a presentation entitled "Half My Life with Perl".

    ​This event will be a live stream via Zoom. The stream URL will be provided as we get closer to the date. Please register now if you’re interested in the event, so that we know how many Zoom attendees to plan for.

    Updated October 31, 2024: Sounds interesting, Alex. When is the event? Oh, you forgot that part?

    This will be a virtual event (so don't worry if you can't find your passport), to be held Saturday, December 14, 2024 at 5pm ET -- Google Calendar reliably tells me that's 10pm UTC. A link to the event will be posted when it's available. So far, we have 60 people signed up -- and it's six weeks away. I don't know what the limits are for a Zoom session, but Olaf is working on arranging that.

    Updated December 3, 2024: We now have an even 200 folks signed up, and I've put an arbitrary limit of 300 on this event. Thanks to TPRF for providing access to their Zoom account for this event -- it should be intriguing.

    Alex / talexb / Toronto

    Thanks PJ. We owe you so much. Groklaw -- RIP -- 2003 to 2013.

    TLDR; After hundreds of hours of work and support from lots of people, the long promised Journal is here.

    The rest is more of a rant.

    The new on-line location for Perl Mongering in Toronto is here on lu.ma. I've made the decision to move away from meetup.com because it went from cheap and cheerful, to really expensive. We have a Special Event happening in December (produced by Olaf A), and our usual and customary December social on December 19 at C'Est What? in downtown Toronto. Everyone is welcome!

    Thanks PJ. We owe you so much. Groklaw -- RIP -- 2003 to 2013.

PDL website updated including "demos" section

    Esteemed monks, the PDL website at https://pdl.perl.org/ was updated today:
    • the "News" section was updated with releases from this year for various PDL-related modules
    • the "demos" section (https://pdl.perl.org/?page=demos/index, or the "Demos" link in the sidebar) was updated to have the text and output (including images, including animations) of not two but now eight PDL demos - a couple of them might be considered quite neat
    • the front page had some text added with something of a "why use PDL" pitch
    It would be very helpful if those who have time could take a look at any of those, and comment if there are any mistakes or possible improvements (or even if they think it's good).
