I've been a registered Monk for 14+ years, was a lurker for eight years before that, I have 60 CPAN distributions published, over 100 Open Source projects published, am co-author on a book about programming the Raspberry Pi with Perl, and for the first time, I'm booked to attend my first Perl conference!

I'm very excited. A client of mine asked if I'd be attending this year's Toronto Perl conference in a call today, and I thought... yeah, I think I will.

Tickets booked, hotel booked, flights booked, I'm on my way.

Best part is, is that Toronto is my hometown, so it'll back as a time that I can visit a bunch of people while I'm there.

I hope to see some of my fellow Monks there!!!

Update: Email me via my addresses found on my Github or CPAN page if you're going to attend and want to try to hook up.
