use Perl

I might as well jump on the bandwagon.

Monday:

• Schwern: writing maintainable code is good anyway, but especially if I want other people to help maintain my CPAN modules :)
• Steve Peters talking about Unicode, because I am a silly American
• zombie email eats your brains! (rjbs)

Tuesday:

• Dave Rolsky: we've talked about Fey. I'm really interested to see how it's shaping up and where he plans to take it in the future.
• DBIx::Router catches my interest because I've done all the things Perrin talks about in his abstract, and I hated it; on the other hand, jjore and the perl 5 VM is sure to be amusing/enlightening/terrifying
• jibsheet, timezones, for many of the same reasons that I want to see Steve's unicode talk

Wednesday:

• toss-up between chromatic and mst
• Schwern, "What is Obvious?", because that's a lesson I'm still learning

I might try a lightning talk; I have several ideas, but I'm not sure if anything will come together.

Each year I start getting excited about YAPC earlier and earlier, and this year I'm also looking forward to staying around afterwards for whatever hacking goes on. Only three more weeks!
