I'm absolutely not interested in becoming an author or artist full-time, just so that's clear.

I did the book because Timm had asked me to assist, considering he was using my software primarily to put it together (it was actually 1nickt that mentioned the prospect to me, if I'm not mistaken in my recollection). I'm also a hip-hop/rap lyricist/mixer and producer, but only do that for some very close friends back home in Toronto while I'm there visiting family. Neither of these provide even a modicum of steady income.

I'd *love* to have a job programming Perl for a living. Finding something in this realm here in Canada is a major uphill battle, one that I've fought for years to achieve :)
