Executive summary: Perl is awesome, Java sucks, and there are also some other programming languages. This certainly fits with my experiences. They’ve been a bit more scientific and pedantic. Enjoy.

As a skeptic, I wonder if this is all on the level. He seems to have pro-Perl/anti-Java bias…Chicks, did you write this? :) ...

You know how much I like helping people spend their money! :) Christopher Hicks - 2013-07-05T19:01:44Z I also ignored the advice of several folks that told me to go to craiglist. I went with a hybrid from REI. They adjusted a few things before my second day of riding and now I’m up to ~70 miles on the new bike since Wednesday when I bought it. Bru-hahahaha. Pictures have been taken and will be uploaded. I’ve got 600 pics from the new camera to sift through.I don’t feel like I’m trapped in Santa Monica now that I can get to the light rail. I made it all the way to Barnaby’s Wednesday night by bike/train/bike. To get to Costa Mesa I punted for the last 10 miles so it ended up being bike/train/bike/taxi. I rode the Green Line for the first and probably last time. :) ...
