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.
