I worked for a menial's hire, Only to learn, dismayed, That any wage I had asked of Life, Life would have gladly paid. ~ Jessie B Rittenhouse </pre> </td> <td valign="top" width="50%"> <pre> Stick To Your Task Stick to your task until it sticks to you, Beginners are many but enders are few. Honor, power, place and praise, Will always come to the one who stays. Stick to your task until it sticks to you, Bend at it, sweat at it, smile at it too. For out of the bend and the sweat and the smile, Will come life’s victories, after awhile. ~ Author Unknown </pre> </td> </tr> </table cellpadding="10"> <h2>My Perl To-do list:</h2> <ol> <li><a href="http://www.apress.com/book/bookDisplay.html?bID=14">Writing Perl Modules for CPAN</a></li> </ol> <h2>Favorite PM quotes</h2> <table cellpadding="10" border="0"> <tr> <td width="50%" valign="top"> Bad idea.

So there are stupid people. There have always been stupid people. There have always been stupid people place above you. The only slightly interesting aspect in this is, what are you going to do about it? Abigail <hr> How about the editors coming up with a single, recommended style for all posted code. That's a great idea! Let the editors look at my coding style, which is the only one true style, and enforce that on everyone posting here. I'd say, a post containing code that doesn't have that style shouldn't even be allowed to be posted. Abigail <hr> I thought the best part of waking up is the fact that you aren't dead.
