in reply to My favorite other on-line community is...

My favorites of late are Plastic, Slashdot, and wilwheaton.net of all things.

Yeah, Wesley Crusher runs his own site. He writes all his own code (in perl!). He even has a line of T Shirts.

    Logan-- for not doing your homework and posting untruths...

    http://www.wilwheaton.net uses PHP not Perl. Just look at the links!

    But hey, just because the site uses PHP now doesn't mean that it always has. I decided to go to the source... I emailed Wil Wheaton asking about Perl (and mentioned Perl Monks in the process). He replied within 30 - 45 minutes saying "Someday, I will tackle Perl. When I do, I'll join up. Until then, I'll continue being a lamer. :)"

      Hmmm, file a bug on it, and I'll take look.

      OK, yeah, you're right. In my excitement over finding out that a Star Trek cast member actually knew something about technology, I misread his geek code. The fix should be in the next build.

      As an aside, what did you think of WWDN?

        I get a kick out of reading it. It's one of the (many) blogs that I read on my lunchbreak daily in fact.
