in thread Perl as a way of life

I fit all of those, so I guess I must agree ;). As per the strategy games, don't forget Go, an ancient chinese game that can take literally forever and taxes the mind incredibly.

Also, in response to the original post, while I like to think that I brought a good deal of logical thinking to the field when I learned Perl, I often find myself solving problems in my head in Perl (not just coding problems). After long enough, you begin to think in Perl as you do in your native language.

    5 Outta 6 ain't bad...

    I use ASP w/VBscript for about half of my job... you know, the BAD days...

    Goedel Escher & Bach.... The turtle was cool. (But really, if he was going for the entire Lewis Carrol thing, couldn't the stories actually have shed some light on the damn situation??)

    And more than chess or go, try ADOM - venturing into a dungeon with no save games?? Now that's strategy.

    Traits of a VB programmer:

    • Enjoys strategy games - Minesweeper, hearts, solitaire
    • Probably has read "Harry Potter" - and only understands 20% of it.
    • An interest in Music - Well, downloading pics of Brittney in a tube top
    • A love of learning whenever they need an undocumented class
    • A love of logic problems - They create them every time they write code
    • Chronic Masturbation - Oops! That's perl programmers again...

      I used to see your handle and wonder whether you were a C. Bukowski fan or not.

      Now I think I know the answer!
