Besides Perl and the other "languages" I need to know to use Perl (SQL, some Perl tool DSLs, used to be JavaScript/HTML/CSS), I try to stay as far away from the computer as possible! I try to balance what's in my head between the virtual and the physical, and mostly what interests me other than Perl is working the land and raising my animals. What I do for a living is so completely inconsequential in the face of life, death and meaning, that in other pursuits I most enjoy producing tangible results. I mean really tangible, like eggs, or a neat manure pile ...
The way forward always starts with a minimal test.
