I might get an iPhone 5s but it seems they are sold out everywhere. I'm too lazy to order it online so I built a little script to check Apple's in-store inventory. I thought I'd share it for people in a similar situation. https://github.com/jasonwirth/iphone-checker -- Jason Wirth 213.675.5294 wirth.jason at gmail.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Looks like we have a lot of good and knowledgeable resources out there already, along with genuine interest. I am going to start forming a list of people who contributed and then reach out one by one to start setting up a formal plan to present. While I would like to get this going ASAP, I defer to proper planning and publicizing, as I want the first in this series to be well attended. I'm thinking probably have it in the end of January, as the holiday season is around the corner and we will need time to properly plan. Really appreciate all the great feedback all! If anyone has any questions or would like to help in spearheading this, please feel free to contact me directly at seheart at gmail.com.

Once you have git installed, try the openhatch git training mission. http://openhatch.org/missions/git It uses the openhatch repository instead of a github repository, but this is for teaching you about git, not github. As you become familiar with git, you can also try things out on github. Forking is a good start. If you aren't already interested in a project, try out my friend's: https://github.com/willkg/dennis If you like, come hang out at ps1 tonight and we can walk through some git and github tasks. -- sheila -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It was wonderful. And users have to be logged in. Very easy due to said django-rest-framework. django-rest-framework is pretty cool. also, this javascript I haven't written yet looks atrocious.

About us: The Nimbus Team is one of the pioneers in cloud computing for science. We released the first open source Infrastructure-as-a-Service implementation in mid-2005 and have since then developed platform-level cloud offerings. We work with scientists across many disciplines to understand how new technology can improve and transform science, develop and evaluate promising solutions, and support their practical use. The team consists of scientists, developers, and students working on different aspects of this mission. For more information see www.nimbusproject.org. About the job: Our team designs cloud computing solutions for a range of different scientific projects. We often work with problems that are more in the realm of discovery and research rather than well-defined blueprints. To thrive in this environment you need to be self-motivated, eager to try new things, and balance that with a strong appreciation of quality development. We are looking for a new team member that: - Loves to solve problems and see the results: our work is not just pure development, but also includes discussing requirements, design, supporting users, performance evaluation and analysis, as well as research. - Loves writing system code and is good at it: while it is more important to be able to pick up skills quickly than have them already, fluency in Python, RabbitMQ, Zookeeper, or cloud-related technologies such as Chef is a definite advantage. - Will thrive as part of a creative team: ?can do? attitude, curiosity, and a sense of humor are essential!

Elevators help make a places accessible. Usually newer buildings in the city are good about having elevators, wide doorways, rails, etc. I think it would be cool to have a sponsor prospectus (or whatever it should be called) so I'll open an issue for that. I keep thinking of things like -- make sure they know to have vegetarian options, etc. On Wed, Oct 16, 2013 at 10:48 AM, Brian Ray wrote: > I have been there several times for tech related meetups.

I heard a lot of good things about OnTrack and sent a drive to them, but mine was too badly damaged to be fixed - some part melted, another part flew off and destroyed the platters. http://www.krollontrack.com/data-recovery/ -- they have a location in Minnesota that got back to me a day or two after they received the drive. I think it was $50 to have them evaluate it in a clean room.

(It's over a weekend.) This is a great event for anyone who uses Python for scientific, numerical, or business computation. The conference a bit like SciPy, because the tools are the same, Numpy, Pandas, etc., but the application is a little more business orientated while SciPy is a bit more academic. If you use any of those tools this is a great conference.
