Today's my last day as a Perl guy. From next week, I'm going back to my Fortran roots. I'll be programming mesoscale wind models for wind energy resource analysis. It's strange to think I'll be using essentially the same programming language that my dad used nearly forty years ago. I don't think I'll entirely give up Perl; indeed, it was Perl's flexibility in munging wind data (compared to DEC Fortran and DCL) that got me into it in the mid-90s. I have a feeling that there will be a lot of Perl glue and prototyping turning up in my projects. PerlMonks has been incredibly useful to me, for which you all have my profuse thanks. I hope that some of my nodes prove useful to future monks. Anyway, keep the heid, keep making the tablet, and make friends with your local wind turbine. --
