Uhm well, I'm like others here also interested in strategy games, if it's chess, go or even starcraft.
But I've also been playing lots of Quake in the last years but didn't in the last time.
I do almost everything in perl at work what makes me quite happy, I think I haven't written any vb/sh/whatever script for over 6 months now, and before I started here, there was no perl at this company. I slowly started to show others what I can do with it, and used it when shell-scripts, awk etc came to their limits. This way others started to get interesting, so I tought them some perl, gave them book-tips etc. Now out current "huge" project, which will take some months to get done will be 100% perl, me writing most of the code but others also do.
So I think there's also a point in beeing a perl-hacker means to give your perl-knowledge to other, aka "share the magic".
I also think perl changed the way of my thoughts a bit, but it's hard to describe how...

For the religious part, I'm a zen-buddhist, so I kinda fit in a monastery like this one ;)

greetings,
