Congrats!

Speaking of anniversary, although the exact date is locked up in an archive of legal documents held by a Very Large Multinational Chipmaker with an initial "i" for a name, today is pretty darn close to the 10th anniversary of Larry and me sending the first Camel "to bed", to be printed in time for the January 1991 Usenix conference.

    Cool!

    The pink camel is still on my bookshelf, still useful, and held together with duct tape.

      I actually used my pink camel book the other day. I had been talking to some folks at a company I did some work for and they mentioned this wonderful sl script that they used, and how they wanted me to mention it in my class. And I said, "Oh, that's just one of the scripts in the Perl eg/ directory."

      But when I looked in eg/ is wasn't there, so I looked around for it, and found it on page 314 of the pink Camel book.
