well, after cruising around use.perl.org yesterday I came across one of Robin's journal entries describing the flow of creativity that stemmed from him once joining #axkit. I have no creativity, so off I wandered, trying to see if the really creative people had any excess creativity lying around...
good people there. some I've met in person and some only through the net, but all good. it's a shame we have to wait for things like TPC to get together, especially in these days of waning corporate funds and shaky air travel. somebody needs to really invent that star trek transporter thingy...
Barrie said that all productivity would cease once getting into IRC, but now Robin owes me a beer, which is about as productive as you can get :)
