Hi Lyle, everyone, I've been making things with Perl, on and off, since I got a job as a webmaster in '95 and had to mangle data into Web pages in a hurry. And at same time found myself working with Java, eventually stumbling into Ruby where the Perl and Java parts of my brain reached some kind of happy scruffy compromise. But there's more than one way to do it, etc etc and I'm still plenty fond of Perl, and interested to know more about what folks around here have been building, regardless of their language of choice. I'm mostly a Web standards and metadata person (ex-W3C, where I helped start the Semantic Web project, and worked on the RDF specs). So I'm extra-interested in topics around data sharing, aggregation/syndication etc. Most recently I was working at the Internet-TV startup Joost, where I was finally persuaded of the charms of Javascript. And since the start of the year I've dropped all that and I'm playing around with my long-neglected FOAF project again, since social network data mobility is all the rage. Uhm, that'll do for intros. More blahblah in my homepage/and blog via http://danbri.org/ (also 'danbri' on twitter, flickr and various others) cheers, Dan ps. ah yeah, I'm Bristol-based (and have been since coming here for university in '91; it's a sticky city...) -- http://danbri.org/ _______________________________________________ BristolBathPM mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.bristolbath.org/mailman/listinfo/bristolbathpm
