About Me

  • Life: Born and Raised in San Antonio Texas. Received a BS in CS from Texas State University, formerly Southwest Texas State University. I was married in 2002, and my first child followed in 2003. Joined the Navy in the fall of 2005, served in Afghanistan, played volleyball, and completed my MS in Software Engineering. Took a space job with an FFRDC in Colorado Springs, finished ME in Space Ops, and now I climb mountains and don't get to work with Perl too much.

  • Work: I am the Executive Marketing Director of Parfums de Coeur, where I was the creative mind behind the aggressive Rap Musk ad campaigns targeting suburban youths who wanted to be urban youths (once available at fine retailers).

  • Interests:
    • I was a very serious indoor and outdoor volleyball player (now coaching).
    • I love anything on two wheels. As far as biking goes, I am an avid Mountain Biker and often commute the 22 mile round trip to work daily. I also love motorcycles, and have a beautiful 1973 Honda cb500 and a freshly restore 1976 Honda CB750.
    • Hiking and mountaineering (14ers and through hikes)

Cheats

  • Variables: The following is from the wonderful Perl Pocket Reference 4th Edition.
    • $var -A simple scalar variable
    • $p=\$var -Now $p is a reference to scalar $var.
    • $$p -The scalar referenced by $p.
    • @var -An array. In scalar context the number of elements in the array.
    • $var[6] -Seventh element of array @var.
    • $var[-1] -The last element of array @var.
    • $p=\@var -Now $p is a reference to array @var.
    • $$p[6] or $p->[6] -Seventh element of array referenced by $p.
    • ${$p[6]} -The scalar referenced by $p[6].
    • $p=\$var[6] -Now $p is a reference to the seventh element of array @var.
    • $p=[1,3,'ape'] -Now $p is a reference to an anonymous array with three elements.
    • $var[$i][$j] -$j-th element of $i-th element of array @var.
    • $#var -Last index of array @var.
    • @var[3,4,5] -A slice of array @var.
    • %var -A hash. In scalar context, true if the hash has elements.
    • $var{'red'} or $var{red} -A value from hash %var. They hash key may be specified without quotes if it is a simple identifier.
    • $p=\%var -Now $p is a reference to a hash.
    • $$p{'red'} or $p->{'red'} -A value from the hash referenced by $p.
    • ${$p{'red'}} -The scalar referenced by $p{'red'}.
    • $p={red=>1, blue=>2} -Now $p is a reference to an anonymous hash with two elements.
    • @var{'a','b'} -A slice of %var; same as ($var{'a}', $var{'b'}).
    • $var{'a',1...} -Multidimensional hash (obsolete).
    • $c=\&mysub -Now $c is a reference to the subroutine mysub.
    • &$c( args ) or $c->( args ) -A call to the subroutine via a reference.
    • $c = sub {...} -Now $c is a reference to an anonymous subroutine.
    • pkg::var -a variable from a package, e.g., <$pkg::var, @pkg::ary. the default package is main.
    • *name -Symbol table entry (typeglob). refers to everything represented by name. $n1{SCALAR} is the same as \$n1; *n1{ARRAY} is the same as \@n1. Other possibilities are HASH, CODE, GLOB and IO.
