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'.
