Less thrilling than perhaps a first post could be. Nevertheless, I am alive and well, and now have a web presence on use.perl.org.
More to the point, is First Talk! I gave my first perl talk today, on regular expressions, to a very small gathering of KW-based Perl Mongers. It was received fairly well, but mid way through the talk, I realized that I was probably teaching mostly stuff that everyone there already knew. Here's hoping they got something out of it.
Anyone who's interested in my talk, can find it at kw.pm.org. If anyone reading this was actually AT the talk, feel free to leave me any feedback.
