I am a perl programmer since 1998.
I started writing CGI-s‎crip‎ts for Brillantnet France, sarl. until the company went down the drain due to incompetent management.
Then I worked for the "Kassenärztliche Vereinigung" (that is something like a union for doctors that take part in the german public health system) until April '07.

Can you imagine? Before i came there they didn´t even know perl, and at the end we did 50% of inhouse-development using perl and his commercial brothers from ActiveState (PerlDevKit).

After the job got said I did some part time projects and am now working for a pure perl shop as a full time developer. Yay!

In the picture above you can see me and a bowl of potatoe salad.

Please note: Due to recent changes on Perlmonks policy, you need to enable risky HTML to get all out of this homenode, especially if you need sex.

<g0n> .oO( who's ridding me of this Turbulent Project Manager?)
holli rids g0n of this turbulent project manager
<holli> there you are :-)
<RazorbladeBidet> ... Holli's Pizzeria and Project Manager Disposal does it again! In 30 seconds or less!
<schodckwm> RBB: lol, I think?
g0n thanks Holli and carries on rolling cigarettes.
herveus wonders when g0n will have to do public penance now...
<Camel_thirst> Holli's fast garbage collection u mean?
holli also hands g0n some spicefor his cigarettes
<herveus> .oO(how closely does g0n resemble Peter O'Toole?)
<holli> yeah. works as long as that Project Manager isn't a circular reference.
<atcroft> atcroft decides it is better not to eat at that pizzeria, and wonders at a theory that would explain both the Soylent Green pizza topping and the disposal process.....
<herveus> .oO(...and does his project manager resemble Richard Burton?)




<diotalevi> Huh. Foo->() is merely alternative syntax for Foo(). I never knew that.
<jZed> a man walks into a Bar->(), bartender says, did you know that arrow is redundant?



<g0n> Intrepid ask holli, he's a dab hand at cat catching.
<Nevtlathiel> I could get my co-worker to lure cats to you with cat-food soup and multiple tins of slamon and tuna
<Intrepid> Yes! And then I could scopp them up, break their necks, skin them in front of everyone, and start putting the half-cooked cat meat into sterilized glass jars. I bet I make a million bucks.
Intrepid realizes how upsetting that last send will be to some readers ;-)
<Intrepid> I would, btw, never hurt a cat, ever. I am extremely fond of them and take fanatically good care of them.
Detonite summons a dire cat, and sends it towards Intrepid.
<Nevtlathiel> but would you hurt a cat
<Detonite> Nev++ :)
<Intrepid> When I was dating my gorgeous Alicia, one of them first things I did at her house was to establish a twice-weekly duty of cleaning her litter box for her cats ;-)
DigitalKitty suddenly appears after being summoned and immediately walks in Intrepid's direction.
Detonite double-checks his spellbook




DigitalKitty casually mentions that she might just be an old lisp program designed to demonstrate machine learning and nobody from that academic year remembered to cancel her job. $ps -aux | grep katie...
<Zaxo> I hadn't notithed the Lithp



<theorbtwo> BTW, Intrepid, have you met planetscape yet?
<planetscape> speak of the devil, and she shall appear ;-)
<castaway> iek!
<planetscape> muwahahahahaha!



<bart> Germans are weird.
<holli> declare yourself.
<theorbtwo> I have nothing to declare except my brilliance.



<andye> aFOO!
andye is a geek with a cold.
<rhesa> bless \$you
