[Baypiggies] Study Python Concurrency

[Glen Jarvis]

For what it's worth, it is always a special effort for me. In fact, I don't
just plan my day, but usually my week around it. I live in SF and work in
Berkeley (usually until 6 pm) and don't have a car. So, I usually come in
early on some days so I can get out of Berkeley in time and get down there
by the time we start.

Sometimes I carpool/ride with others. This saves additional time as public
transportation from SF can add almost three hours (one way) to the trip.

So, I completely understand. I usually find it worth while... usually for
the socializing before, after and the stuff that I always learn from other
people around me.

Cheers,


Glen

Things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things which matter
