inkdroid writes "The UniqueID identifier number software started life as a trivial experiment in Perl and CGI programming for Alan De Smet in the mid-90s. As Alan's understanding of programming and Perl have grown and been refined, so has that software grown and been refined. Alan's plan is talk about how his fascination with unique ids took hold, the UniqueId project, and what Perl has taught one hacker over the years.
Alan will be travelling down from Wisconsin where he currently works on the Condor Project at wisc.edu. Please join us in 'the pit; at BWDI at 7 p.m. April 6. New folks are welcome, and directions are available on the website. There should be some books to give away as well."
