user dimar <p><i><b>from the perlmonk formerly known as 'scooterm'</b></i></p> <p>Herein find ye a user of <b>perl</b>; quite a versatile general-purpose tool, something like a portable Swiss Army Knife for text processing. This analogy has been invoked elsewhere by others. </p> <hr /> <p>Herein find ye one who also advocates effective <b>GUI design</b> as an integral element of Human-Computer Interaction (which is just another kind of inter-personal communication). What you have is a perl fan who is also a GUI fan (in some cases, these are viewed as opposite ends of a spectrum). </p> <p>The uniqueness of this position might best be summed in the following <i>personal opinion</i>:</p> <blockquote> Conceptual operations with a GUI should be no more difficult than conceptual operations with text. A GUI is really just another form of inter-personal communication. Developing, and extending "GUI applications" must reach the same threshold of simplicity as we currently have with editing, munging, and modifying "plain text". </blockquote> Herein find ye the <a href="http://www252.pair.com/comdog/style.html">brian d foy</a> style guide.
