You Are A: Kitten!

Cute as can be, kittens are playful, mischevious, and ever-curious. Your mischevious side is part of what makes you a kitten, as is your dislike of getting wet! Kittens are often loving, but are known to scratch or bite when annoyed. These adorable animals are the most popular pets in the United States--37% of American households have at least one cat. Whether it is your gentle purr or your disarming appearance, you make a wonderful kitten.

You were almost a: Bear Cub or a Monkey
You are least like a: Groundhog or a PuppyWhat Cute Animal Are You?

Look, we're in the paper!

Today's LA Times has an article about LASFS! (At least, the dead-tree edition does; I couldn't find it in the online version, but I admit I didn't look very hard.)

Must go out and buy my own copy!

edit: Jeeze, I was expecting a zillion replies... and I get nothing! What are you people, actually getting work done or something?!

edit 2: It eventually occurred to me to post this to the lasfs community. Maybe there it will get noticed. (I bought 2 copies; one for us and one for the club, just in case they somehow fail to get flooded with copies...)

Perl headache

Sigh.

The thought having occurred to me, I now can't help wondering how long before I use the phrase "or die trying" in a perl script.
