From: "Owen Hartnett" Subject: MacTechGrp Meeting - Sept 4 Date: Thursday, August 29, 2002 3:52 PM MacTechGrp Meeting Sept 4, 2002 7-9PM Room 315 Bldg E51 MIT Sloan School Topic: Casting Couch "Let he whose code is without bugs cast the first pointer" -The Book of Jobs, Steve Casting, sometimes you gotta do it, sometimes you do it when you shouldn't, sometimes you're not sure. Miro Jurisic continues his celebrated series on advanced programming techniques with an in-depth look at casting, why you should avoid it, and how to do it right when you have to do it. Miro's series has been a source of invaluable info, such that, even though you think you know the topic, you'll still find there's more to know. I can't say enough about how good these sessions have been. Plug: I'm currently looking for Mac Programming Work. You can reply to this email for more info. Note: The room number is officially 395, but we often move to a room with a better projector, which has been room 315 for some time. So now I am just going to announce 315, if we're not in there, continue to the next rooms to the right until you find us. Alternately, I still leave a note on the blackboard in room 395, so just dereference that. You can get a map showing building E51 at The MacTechGrp always meets the first Wednesday of the month. You can get more information on the MacTechGrp (and sometimes out of date meeting information) at http://www.codewell.com/mactechgrp To contact the unindicted co-conspirators irresponsible for this group, email owen@ids.net or sgs@codewell.com. *** Do you aspire to someday speak before the august MacTechGrp? Whether you're a new programmer or an old pro, you probably have something interesting you could tell the rest of the group. Fear not, your lucky day could be at hand, but slots are filling fast. Send an email to eric@slosser.net with your proposed topic.*** ********** MACTECHGRP MILK CARTON ************* We're looking for people who can speak about: America's Cup Racing Breeder's Cup Breeding How to go Altivec and back Fear and Loathing in Cupertino Have you seen this person?
