[toronto-lisp] toronto-lisp Digest, Vol 54, Issue 3

Fri Aug 3 22:07:22 UTC 2012

wave accounting held a hackersnest meetup. they are a bit out of the way,
but i guess the linux cafe was too.

I work at CSI spadina, so I can provide a room there. there are chalkboards
and i think some projectors. personally, i rather go to wave accounting. :)

i met the guy who started the clojure dojo. i think we'll have a computer
and people will swap out every few minutes to let someone else program.
it's at thoughtworks, that alone makes it worth going to.
