   Many people don't find interesting people on the social networks because they spend all their time posting what other people have said.

   I guess I prefer to be less granular. If you learn things every day, you learn a bunch of things in a year.

   That sounds good. Knowledge is only really useful if you use it for something, but sometimes a certificate is nice. :)

   If I could get credit for all the new stuff I learn every year I'm sure I'd have a couple PhDs by now.

   I did finally get the Catalyst tutorial VM to boot though. So maybe I'll give the Perl framework a shot.

   We use it for our Macs since Apple doesn't provide a home folder sync. A lot like Dropbox, but we own the data.

   And why does every web framework tutorial start with having you set up a dev environment nothing like what anyone would use in produciton?

   It's for a personal project, but I've about decided on CodeIgniter/PHP because I could really use some experience with it at work.

   We're using it at work as a realtime backup solution. Works pretty well. Easy to setup. $0.99 for the phone app is the only downside.

    Perl is still alive and well. I use it a lot at work because it's what I know and it works well. Not great at web though.

    Maybe Django. I don't like Python, but it's better than PHP.

    I'm OK with PHP, and I could use the knowledge at work, but it's a crappy language. Maybe I should just learn Node.

    Learn an MVC framework written in Perl (which I know) or something more popular that would force me to learn PHP (which sucks). Decisions.

    People on Facebook post crap from Fox News and don't think anyone is going to call them on it. I'm nice but sometimes you have to speak up.

    I wonder if that was battery based or a generator? With a generator and a few drums of diesel you can stay up through a lot.

    We have some big rack mount units in the server room. We don't have a generator, but we keep critical servers in an offsite data center.

    We buy UPSes for some strategic people at work who can't lose work due to power outage. Give them a laptop and you save the cost of a UPS.

    One of the great things about a laptop is that it has a built in UPS.

    One of the reviewers I used to listen to called her Ikea Knightley. Which is kind of funny.

    I missed it due to a scheduling misunderstanding, but will probably see it later. Alan Turing definitely sparks conversation.
