And in the René Magritte[1] stakes, in the staionary cupboard there is a box of invisible tape -- that doesn't have anything in! Truth in advertising?

[1] René Magritte famously produced a painting of a pipe captioned Ceci n'est pas une pipe, or as perl programmers would say, !/|/.

*weeps*

I'll be happy if I never have to work with Perl again. Give me a language that doesn't make me look like $_$ by the end of it and I'll be happy!

Nooes! Java is the One True Way, or so my lecturers told me! Well, I don't mind PHP, but I might as well stick to what I'm good at, eh? ;)


Aside: I peeked at your userinfo and see you've listed Edinburgh and the Uni- are you also a fellow Edinburger? Oh, and yay for dead languages, from a former Classicist. :)

Former Edinburger (and going back there on Sunday), and current Cantabrigian, formerly Londoner and Oxonian.

Cool- fellow Edinburger right here, so if you feel like wibbling about programming languages when you're up just holler. ;) I might be becoming a Cantabrigian again if job application d00m goes well. Nice to see yet another geek who hasn't ripped me to shreds for being such a n00b. :)
