Oh, I can't complete that sentance. Luckly, DrHyde and Joesette have arranged for O'Reilly to give us a Safari subscription to give away for our birthday celebrations, so I'm running a competition to see who can. Details have been posted to the list. If you want to enter, hurry, you've only got until 5.30pm UK time on Thursday - and you have to enter via email as described in that message - don't post answers below.

Now that's sorted out, I only have to worry about a few things. Like where I'm going to get birthday cake and birthday hats from, and buying everyone a beer when they mention the magical phrase which I'm sure my bank manager is going to kill me for.

And next year's competition will be poetry?

Hmm. It's amazing that in 5 years london.pm still hasn't got its [1] website using a link that sends Amazon [2] affiliate revenue to the beer kitty. Maybe everyone should use learn.perl's instead?
