use Perl

I sure haven't documented much of a journey here, have I? Let's just say I've been busy. Work has been really busy. I got married. (Thanks, Ovid!) I found out I'm going to be a father.

Last month I had an epiphany that showed me how far I had fallen from my goals. I've spent quite a bit of time examining how I spend my time and where changes are necessary. I'm going to cut out some of the time I spend gaming (but WoW is so shiny!) and use the time to read and work on a project to scratch a personal itch.

For reading my stack is going to start out with:

1. The Pragmatic Programmer
2. Perl for System Administration
3. Automating UNIX and Linux Administration

To get my project rolling I need to finish a few tasks, which are:

1. Setup Subversion on hollyking.org
2. Setup Bugzilla on hollyking.org
3. Setup a project page on hollyking.org
4. Examine Net::Daemon, Proc::Daemon & other CPAN modules to extract information about writing daemons in Perl.

I'm sure more books and tasks will come up, but this is a good list to get started.
