in reply to Perl Lazy Surfing!

Now this is my kind of geek! If I had a laptop, I'd take it and all my books down to the beach and code all weekend! I come with code like this all the time. It just never gets to my computer. Whenever my friends and I are just sitting around and we're talking about doing stuff (actions mostly) they, knowing the perl geek I am, say "Why don't you just write a perl program for it?" I think it's a game to them to see how much code I can come up with on the fly. :)

Geeks on the Beach
by John M. Dlugosz (Monsignor) on Sep 10, 2001 at 23:56 UTC
    A year or so ago walking along the beach I saw a kid who was overweight, alabaster white, wore glasses, etc. quite unlike the "usual" beach crowd. However, he had the most spectacular sandcastle =complex= on the beach. Ah, baby nerds... our kind will indeed continue into the next generation. I had to offer him words of encouragement.

    However, telling that story inspired me. I went back to the beach with some tools and did a proof-of-concept of a flying buttress in a sand castle.

    No computers on the beach, though. The sand is just too much for it. Though a pocket-PC in a ziplock bag might be in my future...
