Je ne veux pas travailler

There's nothing like a night of Lindy to loosen weekend-long-perl-hacking shoulder knots. Plus, it's nifty to come home and find your errant database query, left to chase its tail in your absense, finished and purring contentedly.

lol - funny how much you can say with song titles :) I used to have entire conversations with a friend in lyric quotes, but I'm afraid I've lost the ability?

Perl hacking, huh? I did that for 5 odd years but finally saw the light and switched to ruby ( http://www.ruby-lang.org ) You should give it a look sometime :)
