Stuff with the Perl Foundation. A couple of patches in the Perl core. A few CPAN modules. That about sums it up.
Ovid, the famous psychic
On the off chance that you have my phone number, you'll note that my voicemail message states "This is Ovid, the famous psychic. I know what you want, so hang up."
You'd be astonished at how many people have hung up without leaving a message only to later be surprised when I call them back (I'm not making this up. The joys of caller ID). However, I realize that in order to prove that I am a psychic I need to make predictions, so here are my mine for 2006.
- When "Perl Hacks" is published, it will be front-paged on
- Someone on that forum will claim the title is redundant (or something along those lines).
- That comment will be modded +5, Funny.¹
1. Because somehow, geeks think jokes are funnier after the 2,173rd time they're told. Personally, I find that repeating the same joke over and over just gives me bell tower/deer rifle fantasies. Let's just keep this between us, though. I wouldn't want Homeland Security to get confused and and pay me a visit (do you think they chose "Homeland" because "Fatherland" was already used?)
I pour myself a cup of strong coffee. :-)

When the aliens come, OSTG will save themselves by offering up the posters and moderators of such comments for involuntary sterilization.
I tell myself that to sleep at night.

Okay, think about that statement. Are they likely to come to "Earth" in search of brains? I think not.

They'll want my brain. It's pre-stewed.

But yeah, we've posted stories out of peer pressure on Slashdot. Sometimes you just want to do it to get people to stop submitting it.
