The Why Wait Camel awards

jmcnamara on 2004-08-04T21:55:20

So John Orwant, brian d foy and Dave Cross won White Camel awards. That's great and well deserved. But shouldn't they have won those in the year 2000. At this rate I won't receive my White Camel award until 2016. By which time I may be dead or programming in C# or both.

Why can't we have awards more frequently. People are doing great stuff and they are doing it now. We should have an award once a month or once a week.

In fact starting soon I'm going to to start giving awards in Recognition of Unrecognised Excellence in the Field of Perl.*

Stay tuned and dust off your tuxedo.

John.

Not Special

Nothing common is very special. Once a year is a good mark. Besides, those clear crystal trophy things have to be expensive.

One good reason why brian couldn't get his award in 2000 was that in 2000 he was presenting the awards :)
