Alive.

Just busier than a one-legged man in a butt kicking contest.

I did get to shake Larry Wall’s hand and say thanks to him. (For those of you who are not Perl people, this is like an observant Jew meeting Moses.)

I also got to spend some time with Bill “whump” Humphries, who was in town presenting “Perl Meets Modern Web UI”. I thought it was a great talk, but I’m biased: I’ve known Bill since our days in the CIA spying on student organizations at the University of Texas, though I haven’t seen as much of him as I’d like in the past few years.

More as time permits. The “Hack Your Mac With Perl” talk is about to start.

    That was jealousy I was feeling? I thought it was indigestion.

    More seriously:

    1. I didn’t talk to him much beyond the handshake. There were a lot of folks clamouring for his time and attention.

    2. I know I’m just lucky, and not really worthy. 🙂
