It also allows silly things like multi-player text editors or a 105-command program launcher. Or you could just use it to change songs in xmms.</p> <p>Code will shown in small doses of Perl and C. Hands-on demonstrations will be included as time allows.</p> <p>Caution: presentation may result in a desire to attach one or more additional devices to your computer.</p> <p>AGENDA</p> <p>7:00 - 7:30 Business We will discuss the status of our ongoing projects including PLUG's monthly Advanced Topics meetings, PLUG's monthly hands on clinics, PLUG for Education, etc.</p> <p>7:30 - 8:30 Presentation</p> <p>See above</p> <p>9:00 - ...
