Hi all! (Please reply only to one list, unless you're subscribed to more).
Here are two edited conversations that recently took place on Freenode's #perl channel and which I added to my fortunes' collection: http://www.shlomifish.org/humour/fortunes/ I am rindolf. They should be somewhat amusing and hopefully they can start an interesting conversation here. {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{ <ferret> LeoNerd: That was one of the first blobs of Java I wrote, it's allowed to be even more verbose and convoluted than Java normally is. ;P <rindolf> ferret: link? <ferret> /las Cat.java <rindolf> ferret: an implementation of the UNIX "cat" program in Java?? <ferret> Actually, specifically the GNU cat program, and only a subset thereof. <rindolf> ferret: oh. <rindolf> ferret: how many lines did it take? * f00li5h heads off to #codegolf and tries to convince them to allow java submissions <ferret> rindolf: It's mostly argument parser. <rindolf> ferret: I once implemented a parser for a subset of the Bourne Shell args, in really hideous ANSI C. <rindolf> f00li5h: good luck. <rindolf> f00li5h: Java Golf... <f00li5h> yeah, for sure! <rindolf> Java Golf would be longer than a non-Golfed Perl program. <f00li5h> rindolf: this is true <rindolf> f00li5h: COBOL Golf!

(220 lines, 5.7K) at http://sial.org/pbot/25279 <strugglingintern> woohoo <strugglingintern> there it goes... <rindolf> strugglingintern: oh my god! <rindolf> strugglingintern: this code looks really bad. <strugglingintern> heh... <rindolf> strugglingintern: if ($records eq 0 ) - don't you want ($records == 0)? <rindolf> strugglingintern: do you have unit tests? <rindolf> strugglingintern: and you should factor it better. <rindolf> strugglingintern: and possibly use Template Toolkit or something. <rindolf> strugglingintern: and you may have some HTML-injection (or XSS) problems. <Ani-_> rindolf: and probably SQL injection problems. <rindolf> Ani-_: indeed! <strugglingintern> :-/ <Ani-_> strugglingintern: really, ask them to review that code when they get back. <strugglingintern> alright <strugglingintern> I appreciate it anyway <rindolf> strugglingintern: how long have you been programming perl? <strugglingintern> hah, about 3 months <strugglingintern> This isn't all my code ;) <strugglingintern> I'll look into it <strugglingintern> Thanks guys (and gals). <rindolf> strugglingintern: you're welcome. <strugglingintern> not my choice ;) <strugglingintern> it's my 3rd week here :) <rindolf> Amazing how much more experienced programmers can tell a code is bad from a quick glance. <rindolf> It's a bit scary. <Ani-_> nothing amazing about it. It's called skill. :) <The_SB> yeh even I can tell it by a look <ology> It's not scary or amazing at all. <ology> It is called experience! <Ani-_> rindolf: what do you find scary? <Ani-_> rindolf: that experienced programmers can tell it? Or the code itself? <Ani-_> I would disagree on the first one but agree on the later! :) <rindolf> Ani-_: no, that I'm so experienced. <rindolf> Ani-_: I hope I don't sound out as a snob. <ology> narcissism is fun <rindolf> I should get a life. <rindolf> Get a girlfriend, go to movies. <rindolf> Instead all I do is write Perl. <rindolf> And chat about writing Perl. <Ikarus> a life, tried that, didn't mix with me -- Scary Perl Expertise on Freenode's #perl }}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} Regards, Shlomi Fish --------------------------------------------------------------------- Shlomi Fish [EMAIL PROTECTED] Homepage: http://www.shlomifish.org/ If it's not in my E-mail it doesn't happen.
