user bobf griffon   <p> <h3> <center><u> Welcome to bobf's Ice Cream Shop </u></center> </h3> </p> <p> Please feel free to browse though the finest selection of ice cream in the Monastery, made fresh daily from only the best ingredients found in and around the grounds<sup>*</sup>. At least <code>int rand(50)</code> varieties are guaranteed to be in stock at any given time (of the more than 1000 recipies I've accumulated), but if you don't see your favorite I do take requests. </p> <p> If you are in the mood for something else, please stop by <a href="?node=Moriarty">Moriarty's Fine Food Emporium</a>, where you can find a delectable selection of cheese, chocolate and marshmallows. </p> <p> <small> <sup>*</sup>A few specialty items must be imported. I also keep a small stock of cheesecake behind the counter for special guests. Let me know if you're interested and I'll see what I can do. ;-) </small> </p> <hr /> <h4>Some of my favorite writeups</h4> <p> <ul> <li>[id://608933] (a PM-related anecdote)</li> <li>[id://495975] (I almost didn't even post this one)</li> <li>[id://474186] (my first and only obfuscated JAPH)</li> <li>[id://427108] (variations on this question are asked frequently)</li> <li>[id://408346] (a small epiphany in my early years)</li> <li>[id://445793] (fun with hash slices)</li> <li>[id://527987] (trying to practice laziness)</li> </ul> </p> <hr /> <h4>Things I'd like to know more about</h4> <p> Actively learning: <ul> <li>Perl!
