Johan/Greg, it got bumped again for time constraints. We did a group coding exercise based on a card trick that took up both hours, which gave the session a nice introductory feel, and tackled a fun encoding problem.

That said, Ravi did bring a video camera today, so when we finally get a chance to do the talk, we should be able to have some semblance of video. ;)

I would also be interested in a video.

Hi Greg:

I’ll post the slides afterwards if I make any major changes. The slides used probably won’t be appreciably different than the second set of slides I posted before, because this is the second talk I had intended to give at last month’s meeting, before we ran out of time.

As for video, etc. We currently don’t have any good way to capture it in the facility we are in. I’ll pass the word to Ravi that people are interested in such things.

Will slides be available? Video on YouTube?

Hi Brian, the first two parts of the ‘trifecta’ the iteratee-based parsec stream can be used for parsing network data as it comes available.

The monoidal layer I add on top for paralelism, on the other hand, is somewhat less useful in that scenario. =)

Is the trifecta going to provide a way to parse network data with Parsec and iteratees (i.e., directly from sockets)? That would be great for network clients and servers.

One of these days I’m going to make it to one of the BAHUGs… One of these days…
