perl and beer, beer and perl

By anders pearson 18 Sep 2002

thanks to <a href=”http://perl.meetup.com/“>meetup.com</a>, i had dinner and some beers last night with <a href=”http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=26179”>tilly</a> and <a href=”http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=104919”>perrin</a>. talked about all kinds of perl and computer stuff. for the most part i was just happy that i could follow what they were talking about. hardware setups, webserver caching strategies and modules (perrin has done <a href=”http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2001/10/17/etoys.html”>lot of research on this</a>), features tilly wants to see in perl 6, the new economy, some general commisserating over being from up north (perrin is from freeport, maine and tilly’s from canada), the life and eventual death of various online communities, got some more background on tilly’s famous <a href=”http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=153046”>break with perlmonks</a>, and all sorts of other geeky stuff. tilly’s wife even joined us for a little bit and was amazingly tolerant of the computer talk.
