I saw a poster for the Jon "maddog" Hall talk. It will be held Monday,
March 12 at 6pm. 

The location is the third floor of the Math and Computer building, in
the "comfy lounge". If you are looking on a map of the floor, the room
number is 3001, but everybody calls it the Comfy Lounge. It is beside
the Coffee and Doughnut shop.

Here is the talk abstract, from

 Abstract: Many things have changed since the early days of programming, but many programs are written as if they were for the machines of the 20th century which had small memories, no cache, single core CPUs, small address spaces. Even the definition of "performance" has changed. This talk will investigate some of these issues and hopefully lead people to better programming.
