I voted for 'Magnetic Monopolls' because I figured it just had to be a mis-spelling for Magnetic Monopoles and it would be sooooo cool if Perl Monks proved their existance to the world through some clever use of one of the Quantum modules or something... Just my $0.02 :) Neil	[reply]

More Pollish Monks! (from Polland :-) Hmm, the Internet country code for Poland is .pl. Coincidence? -- Mike `-- just,my${.02}`	[reply]

Fishing poles for sure. Because who doesn't like fish? work it harder make it better do it faster makes us stronger more than ever hour after our work is never over.	[reply]

How about serious polls with funny options? And serious options of course :-) I'm serious about this one though. It's nice to see what lurks in the minds of other monks. -felonious--	[reply]

Allways More! That's what make the difference between Perlmonks and the other Programer to programer websites :)	[reply]

Think about this... Very True. We need polls to keep in check. Just like a census are polls are who WE are! -perl usr	[reply]

What I'd really like to see is some kind of time limit on polls so they actually change within say a 2 week time frame. There have to be enough ideas to keep 26 fresh polls a year going don't there? There is no emoticon for what I'm feeling now.	[reply]

I dunno .. I'd hate to be scrambling, "Gotta answer the poll, the questions gonna be pulled in the next 18 hours". The way it works now is fine .. someone notices that the existing poll is kinda old and they scrounge around in the bit bucket for some suitable replacement. Y'know, kind of like Co-Operative Anarchy. I guess it's kind of a Zen thing. --t. alex but my friends call me T.	[reply]

I've got no problem with co-operative anarchy as I usually have just plain family anarchy at work. :p That said, I'd still like to see the polls change a bit more frequently than they seem to now. Just my opine. There is no emoticon for what I'm feeling now.	[reply]

Event Notification would be pretty cool, whether by email, jabber or maybe even SMS. Chatterbox <=> Jabber interface anyone?	[reply]

i'd really like cnn.com-like polls (you vote, and the result pops up in another window). i hate regular pop-ups as much as you do, but that way, voting is so much "easier" (voting wouldn't interrupt your stream of conciousness....something that happens WAY too often here "oh! look! i wonder what interesting stuff is behind THAT link!" (i call it the "everything2-effect")).	[reply]

i had to go with fishing poles, cause you can never have too much fishing... Now let me go spell check this before perl_usr sees it ;-) -blaze	[reply]

Event notification, hands down. Just make sure your design is extensible, the standard PIC has turned out to be a resource bottleneck. Imagine how much faster the site could be with a proper implementation. Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply]

How about some more polls on polls or polls on what the next poll should be. :) Sparky FMTEYEWTK	[reply]

fishing poles... more specifically, fly rods. `use Nineweight; tie ($fly, Nineweight); while (!$fish) { cast; if($arms == 'sore') { rest(5); cast; } }` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

No kidding. I know two guys named Rod, and both are pretty dorky (though each is Pretty Fly for a White Guy). -- tbone1 As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.	[reply]

Re: PerlMonks needs... by hiseldl (Priest) on Sep 23, 2002 at 02:03 UTC
More serious polls. Like, how do you use Perl at work--CGI, Sys Admin, etc. Or, which topic needs more tutorials--CGI, DBI, GUI, etc. More serious Perl polls. :-) -- hiseldl "Act better than you feel"	[reply]

I voted for more polls for when the coding is bogging us down, we can give our brains a short vacation.	[reply]
Re: Re: PerlMonks needs... by yung_tw (Pilgrim) on Sep 26, 2002 at 15:19 UTC
agreed.. that's why I voted funnier polls, gives us peace of mind :)	[reply]
