I am currently working on a project where we use Plack, so I can show how to write the basics of a server. Neat thing about this approach is that you can debug it easily and then pass the code off to a larger-scale service. I can also show how to install and debug code in the "twiggy" server.

But there are many other types of stars whose brightness changes measurably over a few years, months, days, or even hours. The study of these variable stars has been a major field of astronomy for many decades. Professional astronomers rely heavily on amateur observations to provide the data for their research. One hundred years ago, the American Association of Variable Star Observers (AAVSO) was formed to facilitate professional and amateur collaborations and to maintain a storehouse of variable star observations. Mr. Simonsen will review the development and expansion of AAVSO during the past century, and look forward to new opportunities for amateur astronomers in the next century. He will also comment on the vital and expanding role that amateurs play in the exploration of the universe. Mike Simonsen is the Membership Director and Development Officer of the AAVSO. He has been recognized world wide over the past dozen years as a leading variable star observer. Mr. Simonsen has authored twenty research papers on his particular interest, the study of cataclysmic variables. more details» copy to my calendar = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = ======================================================================== Saturday , October 22 = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = ======================================================================== All day SciFest at the StL Science Center ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10:00am SciFest WhenSat, October 22, 10am – 4pm StL Science Center The Amazing Brain Carnival Saturday 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. Life Science Lab You are cordially and playfully invited to join ten young, fun, creative (and very smart) psychologists, engineers and neuroscientists from Washington University to explore the mystery and wonder of the human brain.

Its value is 0.00729735308 or 1/137.0359895. This constant is a measure of the strength of the interaction between electrons and photons. Just as the mathematical constant pi (3.14...) is dimensionless, so the fine structure constant is dimensionless which means that for all physicists throughout the entire universe the fine structure constant has the same value. It is truly universal. A Nobel Prize awaits anyone who can explain where this mysterious constant comes from. But is it really a constant? Maybe yes, maybe no. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2:00pm GAMP - Gateway Area Mac Programers ( stl CocoaHeads) Sat, October 22, 2pm – 4pm 120 S Kirkwood Rd, St Louis, MO 63122 http://www.gamprog.org/ Kaldi's Coffee House Usually last Saturday of month St. Louis CocoaHeads Monthly meeting for Mac & iPhone Programming NOTICE: This is a different group from the WestCounty CocoaHeads which had gone by the name NSBrackets.

Alien Vault! http://www.sluug.org/ VENUE: Graybar Electric Co, Inc. Your forum for exchanging information about open standards, open systems, open source, products, services and architectures. THIS MONTH = 6:30-7:30 Bill Odom on "Vim: Wrangling Registers & Mangling Macros" 7:30-7:45 general Q&A. Call for Help. 7:45-8:00 break. social. chat. 8:00-9:00 Jerry Stutte on "Alien Vault" Vim is all about getting maximum use out of minimum keystrokes -- accomplishing more while typing less. Understanding how to effectively use macros and registers can help you get there. If you think registers are just extra clipboards, or that macros only let you play back a sequence of keypresses, then prepare to be surprised. An impressive amount of power hides behind these two major features of Vim, especially when they're combined in interesting (and perhaps unexpected) ways. Bill just gave well received talks/classes at Strange Loop and at the Ohio Linux Fest so he'll have something great for us! Bill Odom has over two decades of experience as a systems architect and software developer, working on everything from wiki software for Internet startups to global identity management solutions for Fortune 500 companies. He's also a long-time member of the Open Source community, an active member (and periodic leader) of several user groups in the St. Louis area, and served as president of the Perl Foundation from 2005 through 2007. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jerry Stutte will be presenting on an Open Source product referred to as Alien Vault. Alien Vault represents the bleeding edge on OSSIM & SIEM technologies. The concept of OSSIM & SIEM (Open Source Information Management) & (Security Information and Event Management) packages have become requirements for governments & corporations through out the world.. The Alien Vault (intrusion prevention system) meets & exceeds nearly all requirements for public audit as required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, provisioning for the Reporting, Analysis, Incident Management, & Forensic Logging of Intrusion Prevention, required for audit by the act. Alien Vault is amenable to monitor any IT source. To mention a few components of the package, Alien Vault utilizes: Arpwatch Pof Nessus Snort Spade Tcptrack Ntop Nagios Osiris Snare OSSEC OSSIM = = = = = = ======================================================================== Thursday, October 13 = = = = = = ======================================================================== 10:00am WCORCC-WE - MS Word SIG Excel SIG Thu, October 13, 10am ‚Äì 3pm Daniel Boone Branch Library West County Older Residents Computer Club http://wcorcc.tripod.com/ MS Word SIG - 10:00 AM MS Excel SIG - 1:00 PM ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 12:00pm Gateway/400 Grp -PHP: An Intro for RPGers Thu, October 13, 12:00pm ‚Äì 1:30pm 12031 Lackland Rd, St Louis, MO VENUE: Spazio's in WestPort, at the Comfort Inn http://www.gateway400.org/ PHP ‚Äì the most popular scripting language on the web ‚Äì has now landed on System i. Millions of web programmers use PHP to create interactive, dynamic web applications quickly and easily, and now you can join them!

PHP also incorporates a straightforward object model that greatly assists procedural programmers ease into the world of Object Orientation. This presentation will introduce you to the basics of programming in PHP on System i by drawing comparisons with the RPG IV language we all know and love. Jon will also introduce you to some of the other powerful features of PHP such as web services, email, and database access.

The impending revolution of physics that would unravel this Gordian Knot was triggered in 1900 when Max Planck realized that physics at small scales must include a hitherto unknown constant of nature -- "h", the 'quantum of action'. In this talk we will explore how the mere existence of this fundamental constant changes the way we look at the world, from energy to the uncertainty principle, and how it hints at physics we do not know yet. This October is a series on the "basic units" of physics. The Saturday morning lecture series is intended to be "for the public" and concentrates on explaining the concepts without getting deeply into the math. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2:00pm MC-Clinic - Securing Our eCity Sat, October 15, 2pm ‚Äì 3pm 87 Brentwood Promenade Ct., Brentwood, MO 63144 Venue: Micro Center In Store Clinic FREE in-store computer technology clinic, see http://www.microcenter.com/instore_clinic/sign_up.html to sign up. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4:00pm SILUG-ME - Southern Illinois Linux Users Group Sat, October 15, 4pm ‚Äì 6pm 3720 Green Mount Crossing Dr., O Fallon, IL 62269 Souther Illinois Linux Users Group - Metro East http://www.silug.org/ = = = = = = ======================================================================== Sunday, October 16 = = = = = = ======================================================================== 2:00pm MC-Clinic - Securing Our eCity = = = = = = ======================================================================== = = = = = = ======================================================================== And a summary looking ahead to NEXT week... = = = = = = ======================================================================== Monday, October 17 1:00pm SCORCC Basic Intermediate Compter Help 6:00pm BDPA - Black Data Processing Associates Tuesday, October 18 10:00am STL Business Expo in St. Charles 4:00pm stlHDI - Help Desk Institute -date & time CHANGE 6:00pm HIATUS - STLOSUG - St. Louis OpenSolaris Users Group 6:30pm StL Hadoop Users Grp 7:00pm Astronomy Digital Imaging SIG Wednesday, October 19 9:00am Thornhill Computer Club 11:30am SNUG - StL Novell Users Grp & SuSE Linux Lunch 2:00pm STLISACA - StL InfoSys Audit & Ctrl Assn 6:00pm GCC - Gateway Computer Club 6:30pm stlPM - StL Perl Mongers Grp Thursday, October 20 All day SIMS-STL Society for Information Management 7:30am IT Advancement Council 8:00am StL ACT!

Your code (Your functionality) is closely protected by an ever vigilant suite of tests ready to stop bugs before they are even introduced. This sounds good, eh? While TDD and unit testing provide numerous advantages in addition to protecting existing functionality, one shortcoming you may discover is that the scope of the unit test is too small. Yeah, it tests how that individual class works, but will it test the application as a whole? Furthermore, will my unit test even be useful after a big change to the class structure? Not likely. Enter Acceptance Test Driven Development using Cucumber. Test the whole application, nothing but the application, and only the application. Allow yourself to be free to change big things and still have absolute confidence that your application still performs. Furthermore, doing ATDD with Cucumber allows your tests to be in English (or Swedish if you like). Whoa. Tests in English!? That sounds like a bad idea. You have to see it to believe it. It's DRY and it's awesome. See you October 4th.

So, please join us at our next meeting or event for fun, knowledge and networking. All hardware, operating systems and software are explored. This group welcomes new PC user hardware and software configuration problems because it is fun to fix them. Help with Linux, other Operating Systems and hardware problems is usually available. # We hold a Linux Configuration Workshop when nothing else more interesting comes up, or when there is no other event or activity scheduled. Problems with other operating systems and hardware are also frequently fixed. New software tools are often demonstrated. Linux is an Internet capable Networking Operating System that provides many fully functional applications that perform well on both older and new computers. Most Linux distributions are free or low cost and provides an extremely reliable and cost effective alternative to high priced proprietary software. # The workshop is where we usually examine, troubleshoot, fix and repair difficult hardware and software configuration problems for Linux newcomers. # Bring your Linux PC to our hands on workshop to troubleshoot your Linux installation, network connection or X Window GUI configuration problem. We have full connectivity to the Internet on site and know how to use it. # Just remember to bring your PC, monitor, keyboard, mouse, cables, cords, power strips and two diskettes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6:00pm stlLL -StL Lambda Lounge Thu, October 6, 6:00pm - 8:30pm 1099 Milwaukee Kirkwood MO 63122 * ClojureScript - Nate Young * CoffeeScript - Mark Volkmann VENUE: Lambda Lounge is hosted at the Revelytix offices in Kirkwood: Boiler Room (lower flower) http://lambdalounge.org/ ** *Functional and dynamic languages* ** -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6:00pm FLEX - STL Adobe Users Grp, Flex and Fuse the Arch Tue, October 4, 6pm - 8pm 4501 Lindell Blvd Suite 1a St. Louis, MO Venue: Skeleton Key Consulting > http://fafta.groups.adobe.com/ Clean Code, pizza and beverages Date and Time October 6, 2011 06:00 PM - 08:00 PM RSVP Please login to RSVP.
