An Israely starting perl hacker; #JAISPH.&lt;br /&gt;
Just been converted to PHP (!). The horror!
And then quit PHP, because web programming with database became redundant and boring.&lt;br /&gt;
Algorithms! Yes, I took up on studying Algorithms and proper C++. All for the army and &lt;a 
href="http://tau.ac.il/~cstasks"&gt;the Algorithm Olympiad&lt;/a&gt; (hebrew page, sorry).&lt;br /&gt;
I got into the 2nd stage (27 out of 250 contenders) and then quit.&lt;br /&gt;
Someday, I swear I'll get back to perl. But I have to be a descent code first (and it'll be nice if my comeback happens when Perl 6 will be out ("When I'm sixty-four..."))
&lt;br /&gt;
I've decided to make my come-back into perl now, as I have a project to do for ben-yehuda.org&lt;br /&gt;
I finally came back to perl, now that I need it for some stuff in the military.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://nimster.homelinux.org"&gt; Stuff. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://nimster.homelinux.org/code/"&gt; Bad code kind of stuff. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</field>
