[TriLUG] Raleigh Perl Mongers - Bioinformatics talk

[Brad Oaks]

TriLUGgers,

I just wanted to confirm that Raleigh Perl Mongers' meeting is at Tekelec
this evening at 7:15pm.   We hope to see you there!

If you know that you'll be attending, drop us a line: <a
href="mailto:bradoaks at gmail.com?subject=rsvp January meeting">rsvp</a>

Directions are available on the website (http://raleigh.pm.org/).

I recommend coming in from the Airport Blvd side; a couple of months
ago the way from 54 to Lichtin Blvd was obstructed due to
construction.
