Hee! Hee! I'm in Las Vegas. And it all counts as work. I'm here for ApacheCon. I've just finished a marathon session learning all about mod_perl 2.0 from the Stas-meister himself. I'd heard he tends to get a bit overenthusiastic about these things and today supported the legend. The tutorial was supposed to run from 1pm 'til 4. It finished at quarter to six. That's dedication, not to mention value for money.
I certainly learned a lot. This whole conference is looking just too damn useful. Not much of an excuse to duck out and sit mindlessly in front of a slot machine or whatever it is you're supposed to do here.
I'm not going to go on too much about the techy stuff here. So far, this blog has been about almost nothing involving work or anything particularly useful. No point in starting now. It's a place for rants and stories of debauchery. Discussions of PerlPostConfig handlers have no place here.
Unfortunately, that means I don't have much to say right now as that is pretty much all Vegas has meant to me so far: a big in-depth discussion of PerlPostConfig handlers and the like.
I and three of my colleagues did wander up and down the Strip for an hour or so last night, but we were so jet-lagged we just kind of staggered in slack-jawed wonder at all the pretty lights.
The fountains in front of the Bellagio were pretty cool. That's about all I can tell you about the place so far.
