I don't read slashdot (no, not even for the slow train-wreck-like fascination of the comments). I went to the site today because they linked to the parrot site. If you haven't seen, we updated the Parrot site with lots of new stuff just a few days ago. The server is fine, thank you very much. I wish I could say it's because Combust is so cool, but we only get a request or two per second from Slashdot readers. I guess most Slashdot readers couldn't program to pay their cable internet.
ask: I'm user 1258 on slashdot
Robert: My slashdot id matches /^\d\d$/
ask: but my username is shorter!
Robert: pfft
ask: and my use.perl user id is ^\d{2}$ ;-)
Robert: my use.perl user id (1414) is ^(\d{2})$1$
ask: alright, can't beat that. But my username is still shorter.
