Bigbro's foray into the scary world of blogging
27 02 2008
Tonight I had the unexpected pleasure of meeting up with Tim Bunce in Dublin. Tim is well known in the Perl community and I had the opportunity to thank him for his work on the DBI and DBD Oracle libraries for Perl, which got me out of more than one scrape in a previous job.
Some vast bulk of the female engineers, technicians, geeks and nerds are being hosted by Microsoft this evening in Odessa, as the first Irish 'Geekgirl' dinner. This appears to be an excuse for the underrepresented gender in the areas of science and engineering to get together and network (in the social sense, rather than the Ethernet sense...) Perhaps it's no bad thing... thus far I've heard that the food is excellent, but the night is early yet. Verdict tomorrow.
