Well, I guess this is the place to put information about yourself you want shared. I'm still deciding really how much of my anonymity I want to let go of.
<br>
In this day and age where it seems normal for folks to blog and twitter (and probably other things I'm unaware of) about everything they're doing... I ask myself if I'm missing the point or are the twitterers and bloggers over sharing?
<br>
Maybe by participating in small doses (PM is the first) I'll glean some insight in to myself as to whether this reluctance to post data about myself is justified.
<i>But how will I know the impact?</i>
<p>
I've been working on Perl since the fall of 2008. My goals are simple for now. I've wanted to learn a programming language for many years but other things got in the way. I dabbled in C, Java, Bash, Expect, and a little JCL, but didn't stick with any of them long enough to really get it. I'm hoping Perl is different. Why do I want to learn Perl? <p>In no particular order:
<ul>
<li> <STRIKE>If</STRIKE><i>when</i> I need to look for work again, a Sys Admin job is the direction I want to go.</li>
<li> It's universal.</li>
<li> It's useful.</li>
<li> People have said it's easier than traditional languages.</li>
<li> I want to learn to think like a programmer.</li>
<li> I need a hobby.</li>
<li> I like learning.</li>
</ul>
That's it.
