Espresso makes the world go 'round.

Boring bio stuff

I've been writing software for about twenty years, in just about every programming language since 6502 assembly was considered "hip," but mainly in C, C++, C#, Java (when I can't avoid it), Perl, Ruby, and Haskell. Of them all, I only like programming in the last three.

Perl background

I started writing Perl code circa 1996 but until 2003 had drifted away, mainly because my clients prefer other languages and because my free-time hackery went to Haskell. But, thanks to my pal CaseyWest and the Pittsburgh Perl Mongers, I'm happy to say that I have once again caught Perl Fever. Here's to hoping there's no cure! (Lifts glass.)

Stuff that I've written on PerlMonks that is probably more interesting than its rating implies

Perl stuff
