What are your pertivities (Perl-Activities)?

In no explainable order:

• I created and maintain some CPAN modules. From the e-mail I receive regarding my modules, it seems only PLP and DBIx::Simple are actually used. Math::Calc::Euro was used during the euro introduction, but I no longer get mail about it. I don't think anyone has ever used Math::MagicSquare::Generator or Crypt::Caesar.
• I try to visit the Rotterdam Perl Mongers meetings (every third tuesday), but can't always be there.
• As you know, I visit PerlMonks regularly. I used to answer a lot of questions here, but I have no longer got the time, and think there are too many newbies seeking for Perl wisdom without RTFM'ing first.
• Other sites I visit at least once a week are perl.com and use Perl;. I also like reading TPJ and TPR (If I were to choose, I'd go for TPJ, but fortunately, you can have both :)
• I use Perl daily for quick system administration hacks, but also for larger projects. My company can't exist without Perl.
• In #perlhelp on EFnet, I spend a lot of time helping people with Perl, as the name indicates. I'm also in two different #perl's, but am not at all active there.
• The Perl Cheat Sheet is one of the most visited pages of my homepage. It appears people like it.
• I've helped improving Irssi's Perl scripting support. (And I still think Irssi scripts should be modules, and be distributed through CPAN, but nobody seems to agree with me)
• I visit http://search.cpan.org/recent every day, and often bug people using e-mail or RT to tell them what I think about their modules. Sometimes, when I think the module is really valuable or invaluable, I write a review. But you knew that :)

(Please excuse the arrogance. I've yet to learn how to avoid "I" in English.)

I'm interested in almost everything that is Perl.
