Next week we’ll be kicking off the new year with our first geek dinner of 2007.Providence Geek and Investment Instruments president Owen Johnson will be presenting his company’s web-based property management tools, iiProperty and Rentometer. I, for one, have been really looking forward to this one. Stay tuned for details in a follow-on post.

Please RSVP in the comments section of this post so that we can give the good folks at AS220 an estimated headcount. And while you’re at it, subscribe to Providence Geeks’ feed (see sidebar) and/or join our very-low-volume email announcement list (for the announcement list, send an email to Jack Templin, jtemplin over at Gmail with your name and affiliation).

As always, for first-timers here are the details on the Geek Dinners:

• 
  
• It’s totally casual. Wear whatever, bring whoever, arrive and vamoose whenever… And don’t worry about eating or not – come famished or full – eating is optional, and frankly, the least of the festivities.
• 
  
• Topics of conversation will vary as they will at any gathering of geeks, but many of us will be talking about AJAX, mash-ups, start-ups, new devices, innovative business models, interaction design, social computing, digital art, web services, etc. etc. etc.
• 
  
• Food and beverages are for sale at the adjoining Taqueria Pacifica and bar.
• 
  
• There is WiFi so bring your connected device of choice.
•

• ColdFusion Developer Position in Warwick
• On-site Service & Repair Contractors at A+ Systems
