Celebrity endorsement

Possibly I should remember to save after I preview. Or possible I'm double-posting.

In any event, Carl has achieved fame: http://yapc.org/

Good thing I dragged him along, I guess.

The whole article was worth reading, but there is no link to it. The 5 sentences there give a different impression than the whole article. I remember it as being enthusiastic, but not promotional the way the extract sounds.

Not sure the YAPC mailing list is archived anywhere, but he put the entry in his LJ too: http://ravenx99.livejournal.com/20728.html

And yeah, it was very selectively edited. One could do that other interesting ways:
YAPC confirmed my greatest fear. There wasn't much in the way of tutorial for the new stuff... modules, OO, references, etc. I never learned how to properly write a module, just why "my" was better than "local" or any of that "advanced" stuff. I don't think I got a huge amount of immediate return on my investment... there wasn't much I can go back to work with.
