use Perl

It's been a long time since my last journal entry. I'm going to YAPC (yay!) so I'm very much looking forward to meeting all the people I know only by nicknames in person. Unfortunately we're flying in Wed morning for various reasons & will miss Larry's opening speech & probably the first round of classes. So I'm wondering if there will be audio/video recordings of the opener and/or the RT & POE & Mason classes. I'm truly bummed i'll be missing them as those are three of the things I've wanted to learn more about for a long time. POE because it is just so darn cool, and Mason because lots of FT positions want experience with it. I want to implement RT here at work for bug & feature tracking. Slides are great, but you miss a LOT if that is all you have. Hopefully I can at least get any handouts that Jos, Jesse, and Dave will be handing out.

But either way I'm quite psyched to be going, even if the timing sucks. How's this for a schedule? YAPC wed-fri, moving into boston sat/sun, picking up my wife from school wed, then vacation for 1.5 weeks. Did I say how these next few weeks are going to fly by?
