DC Perl Mongers meeting

Okay first off, I was always interested in programming languages. The thing that stopped me was that the prospect was always so daunting because I never knew which one to pick or where to go to get help (before the widespread use of the Internet and high speed connections). Fast forward to now, and the internet is a great thing. I discovered the great world of perl, python, ruby, Xcode. Finally! Something I could get some traction on.

I had heard of Perl Mongers meetings but had assumed they were just on the west coast. A Google search later, lo and behold, what do I find? A local Perl Mongers meeting. Yay!! :D I planned to go last month but got sidetracked. So, I decided to go last night and just show up. It was great! As I expected, I was the only female there out of about a dozen or so people. Fortunately, the other attendees weren't neck beard-y like I thought :P

Most of the discussion was WAY over my head, but they were super nice about my noobishness. I've yet to finish putting my brains in my head. LOL Anyways, now I really gotta get my butt in gear and start studying to come up with some intelligent questions for next month's meeting.

Off to studying....

Yikes!

Okay. So I've been dragged kicking and screaming into the world of Web 2.0. Finally, right? I had hoped to lay low until Web 3.0 came blowing through but no such luck. :/ Currently, I am appearing monthly on a Philadelphia radio tech show and it was becoming quite apparent that I need some way for the listeners to contact me off the air. (Unfortunately, this month I was accidentally bounced off the air before I could give out my information. Ah well, there's always next month.)

So here I am. A MySpace account and, shock of shocks, a Twitter account. A Facebook account is lurking somewhere around the corner.

I had wanted to give MySpace another chance for a while now (I had always had the impression that the place was a burnt out crackhouse of poorly designed pages). So today up came the perfect answer. My page is one of the few that will remain quite tasteful and plain as it will basically be used for caller support, not impressing some random 12-year-old. As for Twitter, I resisted signing up for all the Hollywood celebrity incursion ball-shaking recently. But as someone said to me once, I technically can follow anybody I like and not follow everybody else. :) Problem solved. Right now as it stands, I am quite tempted to get back on FriendFeed (I tried it before but it held no real interest as I didn't have much to contribute to it) now that I have multiple sites to pull from. We will see.

Well, the future awaits me .... I'll be back! :P
