Any questions from the audience?

Feel free to ask and I'll happily answer, either in comments or in a separate post. (The answer may be "None of your business" or "I don't feel like talking about that," but it's still an answer.)

In fact, I've got a couple left over from last month that I never got around to:

Are you still learning Perl? How's that going?

At this point I know enough Perl to get by, I have a small stable of scripts I can easily modify for my uses, and (most importantly) I know where to look in the camel book when I forget the syntax for whatever regex I'm trying to write. So, not really "learning" so much as "using, on occasions that grow ever more rare."

How were you able to resist naming your blog "Tuckered Out?"

Having a given name of "John" left me with an atrophied sense of humor about name-based jokes, and the "Take Away Tucker" sign at the to-go order counter at Outback Steak House dealt it a fatal blow.

Every place has something, be it an awesome video store or a Chinese place that just does perfect crab wonton. What would be The Place that you'll miss from DC?

The AFI Silver, hands down the best movie theatre I've been in.

If you could send one text message (140 chars, no more) to yourself at any point in the past, how much would it suck to realize that the point you'd pick is before you bought a cell phone?

heh. It'd mostly just be frustrating. "Well, there's... no. Or how about... no. Or maybe... no, not quite. Dammit." To the left, it's not like I'd be losing anything I hadn't just gotten for no reason about three minutes ago, so it wouldn't be /that/ bad.

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

... either more drugs, or fewer.

These are all excellent. Also, you've highlighted why I dig Perl. Just learn what you need, build what you want, and move on with your life. It's my kind of language.

Yeah. That sounds about right.
