Re: The First Ten Perl Monks

We've all heard of dibona - dibona monk - Chris Dibona. Whatever happened to him? He doesn't even appear to have an account!

It turns out that his account was deleted via nuke. I have raised it from the tomb. Voila: DiBona. :-)

I reckon we are the only monastery ever to have a dungeon stuffed with 16,000 zombies.

So I reached out to Chris D himself and asked what his involvement was. He says: My interaction was limited to a teeny bit of stuff and a photo for the monk pictures. I reckon we are the only monastery ever to have a dungeon stuffed with 16,000 zombies.	[reply]

I'm happy you're working on the internals! I was wondering why the big jump in node ID's? From 1233781 to 11100000... we were getting pretty close to 1234567!	[reply]

That was totally my bad. I had a node I needed to get "out of the way" for a minute, so I threw it to 11100000, not realizing that it would permanently reset the autoincrement sequence number in the database table. :-(	[reply]

Well, I guess the next "interesting" node ID isn't too far away - 11100111 `:-)`	[reply] [d/l]
