user jandrew <p>Just a mechanical engineer that uses perl for data parsing rather than excel whenever possible. I am nearly exclusivly a windows user.</p> <p>My code is rarely used in a speed critical manner so I generally opt for ease of coding over speed of run time. This means that I don't generally fear dependency heavy modules or modules with big footprints. ([Moose] and [DateTime] are examples)</p> <p>My work expertise largely falls in product warranty and manufacturing. My perl work areas of interest are dirty data input management, data output, and organization and reporting of the data. I also dabble of necessity and poorly into supervised text parsing / data mining of call and repair tech information. While I continue to visit the monastery absorbing random inspiration any directed brilliant pointers in this area are welcome.</p> <p>Personal TODO: <ul> <li>A cooking program that manages recipes, food inventory, nutritional content, menu planning, shopping lists, and store recommendations.</li> <li>A personal finance website that keeps the work on the server but leaves the data on the customers machine.</li> <li>A perl LOGO implementation like [http://pythonturtle.org/|pythonturtle]<br>The goal would be to treat the the turtle like a moose object and allow editing, more objects, and possibly more than one coder to interact on the screen at once.</br></li> </ul></p> 2013-05-06 19:06:29 1412 706987 0 63 Palo Alto, CA America/Los_Angeles
