A couple of interesting asides...
Last Friday before lunch I was sitting at my desk at ActiveState. One of
the Senior Python developers, David Ascher, approached me with another
man whom I'd never seen before. "Brian, I'd like you to meet Dave
Beazley."
Beazley, Beazley? Uh oh. I know who that is! Does he know me? Has the
creator of SWIG read any of my articles where I denounce his outdated
technology? And he's bigger than me. Should I be preparing to get a can
of Whup-Ass opened onto my sorry Perl hackin' butt?
Dave turned out to be a great guy. He had never heard of Inline. Neil
and I got to give him the Grande Tour. He really seemed to dig it. He
said it was the "most despicable thing he'd seen in a while", or
something equally flattering.

Damian's back from his World Tour, and ready to do some Inline hacking.
You should all be very frightened.

I just got an email from none other than the Perl 5.8 Pumpking Jarkko
He-yet-a-knee-any. This could be good. Really good. I'll let you know if
anything comes of it.
That's all for now,
Brian
