Migrant
Programmers Celebrate Jorge's return to Cyberspace
Last Friday Evening marked
the return of the monthly Migrant Programmers Meeting, which was
held at the Winking Lizard in Cleveland, Ohio. The turnout was
smaller than most gatherings but it is believed that attendance will
increase as members start accessing the website and finding that it
is once again in operation.
"We are
redesigning the website to take advantage of the technologies that
are available to us by our new web-host provider", stated Chuck
Miller, one of the Webmasters of the site, "Jeff Jaynes and I
will be utilizing ASP and SQL Server on the site as well and we hope
to get contributions from Migrants out in the field for our
technologies section."
When asked why the site had
been shut down for so long Chuck replied, "Well, maintaining a
site costs money and as Migrants, we sometimes get bogged down on
"special projects", which was the case with
MigrantProgrammer.com We will be adding a gift shop section to the
site, which will contain coffee mugs, mouse pads, shirts, and hats
that will help offset the costs of the site. And since we will be
getting technical assistance from other Migrants in the field, the
site should be easier to maintain."
The Migrant Programmer
meeting is normally held on the last Friday of every month. The next
meeting will be January 28, 2000. For more information on this
