New An admission of my own
I don't know how well K5 does or does not work since for some reason its discussion has never interested me.

Perhaps it is just the wrong mix of stories for me. Perhaps has to do with the audience attracted.

But in several tries, I never once found myself being drawn back to the site and its discussion, and so I never became a regular there.

Cheers,
Ben

New Decisions, decisions
Do I bask in the undeserved glow, or do I point out the chasm between myself and someone like [link|http://www.yetanother.org/damian/|Damian Conway]?

Cheers,
Ben

New Are you on the high side of the chasm?
Since the site displays dark green on black on my monitor, and since I can't read a bloomin' think on the site, I can't tell whether you're ridiculing him or praising him.

[link|http://www.yetanother.org/damian/b+w/|Is here].

And no, I would not call myself on the high side of someone like that. I mean, I can make Perl mostly do what I want, sure. But you don't find me deciding that I want to make Perl into Latin, turn Perl into a quantum computer, turn my error messages into Haiku, autocorrect typos in function names, etc, etc, etc.

Take a look at his projects list. Those are his current projects while on a sabbatical paid for by Perl people who want him to have more time to flabbergast the rest of us...

Cheers,
Ben
