Well... I'm a humble web developer (I haven't developed anything that runs outside a browser YET) but damn me if I'm not guilty too.

Under Perl I've developed a banner randomizer a few years ago and now I'm finishing my IRC bot - well, it will be my first non-browser app :)

Under PHP (that I've been developing with in the past two years) I've made a text parser that analyzes a news feed to search and highlight over 10.000+ words, all based on RegEx knowledge that I've acquired with Perl. And damn, man, this script is as fast as it can be :)))

I think that when you do something that solves a pretty nasty problem or achieve a goal with a large amount of effort you should be proud!

Just my two cents. :)

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
