  1. Why does a certain insurance company think that meerkats come from Easter Europe?
  2. Tour of Britain Cycle Race just went past the top of my road. Zoooooooom
  3. Reading PHP books on security. What a load of garbage, how do authors have the cheek to publish examples you could drive a bus through?
  4. I'm on holday for two weeks. Woohoo!
  5. Just discovered the new PHP 5.3 has deprecated the regular expression chapter in my PHP course. Brilliant.
  6. Must get PHP security chapter nailed this week. Groan.
  7. Dawlish airshow today - not a million miles from me. Hope the Vulcan, Red Arrows, or B of B flight overshoot to my place. Dream-on
  8. QAPHP install updated. New XAMPP, Notepad++ and FireFox
  9. YAPC Perl conference over - learnt an awlful lot. Looking forward to home, but not to writing all my notes up.
  10. Attended "Perl6 for Perl5 programmers" and learnt nothing. Whew!
  11. Be it ever so humble, there's no place like ~+
  12. Did you know - BBC iplayer is written in Perl! No wonder it is so slow ;-)
  13. Larry Wall and Damon Conway still banging on about Perl 6 like they haven't missed the boat.
  14. Travelled to YAPC venue with 3 Dutchmen - they spoke in English to each other out of politeness to me. God, I wish I was less ignorant.
  15. Sunk some pints at the YAPC pre-meeting. Larry gave a friendly wave, and TheDamian actually said hello. Good guys from Oslo & Helsinki.
  16. Some amazing aircraft formations flying over our house today - RNAS Culrose airday.
  17. Wow! I found a bug in python!
  18. Cygwin stinks! AT least, it does for UNIX training. Read access after chmod 000? You got it!
  19. Woo Hoo! I HAVE WON THE LOTTERY!!!! (well, the Cornish Air Ambulance Lottery, value £13.33)
  20. Just compared Xpertise's Perl courses and QA's. Its times like this that I am actually quite proud...
