jdavidb (email not shown publicly) http://voiceofjohn.blogspot.com/ J. David Blackstone has a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Engineering and nine years of experience at a wireless telecommunications company, where he learned Perl and never looked back. J. David has an advantage in that he works really hard, he has a passion for writing good software, and he knows many of the world's best Perl programmers.
Nick Corcodilos (of Ask the Headhunter) has a blog. I haven't looked at it yet, but everything else Nick provides (book, website, newsletter) is spectacular.
I assume Andy Lester already knows, because he reads the ATH newsletter.:) But I hadn't been reading it lately, and just popped in to that folder to check it out.
Nope, I'm afraid not. He's probably a different relative. I believe a lot of the British branch of the family is Blackston or Blaxton. I'm Blackstone. But it's all from common stock, and a lot of people who knew the roots of my family in East Texas pronounce it Blackston even when spelled Blackstone.
Looks like programming is in the genes.:)

Are you the David Blackston who used to work on patches for the game Angband? If so, please could you email me at feb07@entai.co.uk?
Cheers!
