While more of my biography is to come later, let me indulge in some loosely related subjects.
Besides my obvious obsession with Perl, I am also a fan of
RPG style games such as Ultima Online etc. Recently,
however, I haven'd had enough time to play any specifically.. just hacked at a few RPG game scripts.
Presently, I'm working full-time as Programmer Analyst at Telus Telecom, and running a web consulting firm part-time.
As monk tradition has it, I here include some of my favourite nodes (mostly written by others):
The Oracle Speaketh:
lest thy soul lust for a life abundant with sin and abomination by setting thy feet astray from the true path of pure 'strictness'.
Articles
- The Big Ball of MUD -- a discussion of systems typical especially in the Web scripting business ;/.
Amusing/silly Chatterbox utterances
- <crazyinsomniac> vladb: why do all geeks look alike? (they don't exactly look similar, but that expression, it's universal ;D)
Links
- My personal homepage
- This one contains all my current Perl projects (*hint* *hint* some of you might even want to check them out! ;-)
- Last 30 chatterbox utterances here.
- Pricewatch.com - neat place to shop around for the cheapest hardware and such.
