While I have historically been a late worker, you know, sometimes I even like to get up early and see what's happened in the few hours of the night and then I often take a nap in the middle of the day just to sort of make up for stretching my day out.

Odd that we think definitions are definitive.

Guilty as charged. Perl is happily ugly, and happily derivative.

Think of prototypes as a funny markup language--the interpretation is left up to the rendering engine.

I want people to use Perl. I want to be a positive ingredient of the world and make my American history. So, whatever it takes to give away my software and get it used, that's great.

Many days I don't write any code at all, and some days I spend all day writing code.

It's hard to tune heavily tuned code.
