This is my personal dumping ground. It has all sorts of things that don't belong other places. Sometimes it has it has useful things. Usually, it does not.
There is no order, implied or otherwise to these things.
- Me on MetaCPAN
I write Perl. In fact, I managed to persuade someone to pay me to write Perl.

- The Rite-Aid Game of Life Analysis
Back when I had a "real" job that involved sitting in a cubicle and answering calls, I was lucky enough to work for a soul-crushing organization that hadn't quite perfected the art of crushing souls and let us haul our personal computers, ipods, and other electronic secrets-stealing devices in and fiddle during downtime.

Here are instructions on getting your .vimrc, .screenrc, and termcap, and where to find the proper ingredients for your virgin volcano sacrifice needed to get vim inside screen to display 256 colors.

A small PHP project I created because I needed to be able to progmatically create PHP classes at run time.
It is not safe.
It is not secure. And that's something coming from someone that just wrote a PHP thing that intentionally uses eval().
It lacks features.
Hopefully, PHP will grow as a language that this sort of dirty hack is not needed. And on that day, I shall mount my magical unicorn and ride across the faery bridge to the Meadow of Enlightenment where Conservatives and Liberals will frolic hand-in-hand and eat marshmallows and sing happy songs.
- PicoHitler Conversion Tool
Is something really "worse than Hitler"? Now you can find out.
- Best Buy Actually Only Sort of Sucks
A story about how I got Best Buy to pay for a US$30 remote that should've come with my $700 television, and how it only took emailing the Board of Directors.
