I have a Linux-only friend in East Nashua who has Verizon Fios.  I'm sure
Verizon will cut short any customer support calls if he has a problem,
and I'm not sure if he had to boot Windows for the installer, but it at
least works sans Windows after the initial setup.

This does tie in as a reasonable followup to functional programming.

However, as I told Bill, when it comes to decorators, I have simply used
decorators in contexts where I've seen examples of others using them.

PySIG Thursday!

2006-01-23 Thread Bill Sconce
New Hampshire's Python enthusiasts will get together for the first time
in 2006, at the Amoskeag Business Incubator, 7:00 PM this Thursday (1/26).
Everyone is welcome -- ping me if you'd like directions.

Featured speakers:

  o  Bill ("homework": sorting, attrgetter(), etc.;  developments in
 advanced vi (just kidding - he means SciTE))

  o  Lloyd (who, knowing Something(*) about decorators, has kindly consented
 to give us a kickstart course, centering on how decorators are a better
 way to do what property() used to be necessary for.)

Also on the agenda:

  o  PyCon - who's going to Dallas from New Hampshire?

  o  ElementTree (if Kent shows up!  :)

  o  And any question about anything Pythonic...


Off_to_clear_snow_AGAIN'ly yrs,

Bill

Here's what I've found out so far.  I spoke with Representative
Cataldo, one of the bill's sponsors.

Indeed, the meetings are public.

Often the chairman will make a specific invitation for members of
the public to offer comments.

The sponsors of the bill are evidently not its authors.  The author
is one Seth Cohen (who Rep. Cataldo believes runs a consulting firm
in  Concord - Google didn't yield anything for me on that).  Both
Rep. Cataldo and Seth Cohen are likely to be at the meeting tomorrow.

P.S.  See you tomorrow (at 5:00!) for the Quarterly Meeting.
