I drank 36 bottles of Guiness once, while discussing Perl. + I managed to get them for free. :-)
I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth.

Guinness from a bottle? Yech! Canned guinness is much better, if you can't get it draught.

Joost++. Canned Guiness++ (here in CT most bars don't have it on tap (though the one I was just at playing trivia does)).

My company's contract web designer and I once developed a demonstration of an e-commerce site in Perl while I was driving from Chicago to Kansas City to present said demonstration (note, someone else was driving the car while I was writing code!). Please keep in mind that our designer was remotely deploying templates to the web server running on my laptop, which was connected to the Internet with a blazingly-fast cell-phone dial up connection :P
(for future reference, it's not the most efficient development process, but it worked!)

I've debugged Perl code transatlantically. And transasiacally. Not at the same time, though. | [reply] |

My first perl script that (intentionally) did anything useful was over 2000 lines. 2000 lines of pure, breathtaking, crap.

I once debugged a Perl program while underwater (in the Eurostar train between Brussels and London while crossing the Channel through the Chunnel).

once wrote a mod_perl report display package on my laptop, while flying over the US. no big deal, except my boss was in the seat behind me, shelled into my box from his laptop, and wrote the report generation code at the same time, using a cross-over cable. I think the other passengers thought we were building a bomb when i whipped out the wire and passed it down the aisle.

What is best? Frightening the flight attendants by using a suspicious cable or using your WiFi and frightening the flight instruments?

I once had an 8 hour dialin session to get Perl compiled on a rather stubborn HP-UX box. My location: New York City. The HP-UX box's location: Melbourne, Australia. | [reply] |

There are members of pmdev from Europe, Asia, Oceania.
Each one of them, when contributing code to PM, is
performing a trans-oceanic code contribution.

Oh, I've done transatlantic ssh sessions from here (Munich) to the PM servers. For that matter, I once hacked an X program over remote X -- from a 56k dialup in Lancaster, PA, to CalTech.
