- methods and functions should return undef if they fail in Perl! Returing an error code is only good for C.
- learn C before you learn ML. It would be painfull to go back those 30 years of programming language development!
- Sure people are stupid, spend more time with them anyway.
- Exercise. Two years will not always be that a big age difference, you might give your brother the well deserved kick sooner. Besides we all know looks is what the chicks care about despite what they say.
- When someone is talking she might just talk to talk (99.9% likelihood), stop looking up problems to solve in the babble. A nod at the right places is all that's needed.
- Never, ever start working for McCann!!! !!! !!! !!! !!!
- They are paying you for 8 hours a day, not 15! If they don't see they need another IT guy it's their problem.
- Don't be shy to ask for more money.
- You can get her (whoever she is). Just believe it and it'll be true.
- Never say no to an invitation. You might not like the film, but ... you might not see much of it anyway.
- It's OK to have a shrink!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
