<0> I suppose so :
<0> :)
<1> merlyn on the other hand seems to have far more "fun" work than not fun work
<1> of course, that's probably because he likes to talk about the fun stuff far more than he does the not-so-fun stuff
<0> I see, you mean the whole Perl course thing?
<2> Heh
<2> Maybe it's just I talk about fun things
<2> right
<2> I have a lot of variety in my life.
<1> the geek cruises
<1> for 1
<2> Lots of ****y tasks that I don't talk about (unless I'm whining), and lots of fun things that I do talk about.
<2> the geekcruises are a lot of work
<1> right - just what I was saying
<2> I usually need 1-2 days to recover afterward
<0> geekcruises?
<2> see geekcruises.com
<2> by the way, I'm starting a podcast for that. site being developed at podcast.geekcruises.com
<0> nice "poping out at you" deign on that podcast site
<1> melryn - in your SA travels, ever been to Honduras?
<1> er - merlyn even
<2> Nope. just brazil so far.
<2> and venezuela
<0> SA travels?
<1> well, actually it is more central america but I **** at geography
<1> I have a friend that is taking a tech job with the US government there
<1> was thinking about visiting him when he gets settled in
<1> SA = South America
<0> ahh, ok
<0> ever been to Alaska or Egypt?
<2> me or L-R?
<1> I have been to Alaska several times
<1> but never outside the anchorage airport
<1> merlyn OTOH is much more traveled than myself
<2> I've been to alaska about a dozen times
<0> merlyn: L-R?
<0> Limbic_Region: cool, how is it?
<2> see pictures of the 32 past geekcruises at www.stonehenge.com/merlyn/Pictures/Trips/
<1> L-R = Limbic_Region
<0> Limbic_Region: why'd you never get outside of the air port?
<2> rutski89 - how old are you?
<0> merlyn: note the 89 in rutski89
<1> lay over on my way to Korea or the Philippines or somewhere else in SE asia
<1> 17
<1> yeah
<0> hehe
<2> ahh - wondering why you keep wondering why things are
<0> actually 16, almost 17 though
<1> well - merlyn is an old fart by my standards
<1> and I must be ancient by yours (turning 30 this year)
<1> so - he must be a relic to you
<3> rutski89: soak up as many languages as you can while you're still young
<2> yeah - I have shoes older than you. :)
<0> merlyn's still young, well.. my picture of him is from the back of "Perls of Wisdom"
<0> merlyn: heh, good one
<2> That's a carefully edited picture
<1> merlyn is not old
<0> i see
<1> but the younger you are
<2> I'm 44 - turning 45 in november
<1> the older someone who is older than you seems
<1> yeah, merlyn's parents got busy on valentine's day
<0> that's in February
<1> Feb 14 + 9 months is when?
<1> do the math
<0> ahh, ok; nm
<0> yea, i get it now
<0> for some reason there I forgot that it takes 9 months before your born
<4> wankit
<5> Perl 6 doesn't need condoms, because when he has an orgasm, its partner blows up.
<3> cube it
<6> if love is a virus then I am Typhoid Mary
<3> rofl
<1> perlbot fortune
<7> Laissez Faire Economics is the theory that if each acts like a vulture, all will end as doves.
<8> Limbic_Region: slacker!
<1> thrig - I think laziness is a programmer virtue is it not?
<1> in any case rutski89, try to keep up that positive attitude about programming gigs being as glamorous and rewarding as you think they are now
<1> don't let me taint that perspective
<9> hi everybody
<1> just don't try to convince me, in your 16 years of experience, you have it all figured out
<0> Limbic_Region: will do :) This is my first one, so it's been good so far, i'll see where it goes and let you know ;)
<1> salutations Gamez
<0> Gamez: hey
<9> hmm in perl can i write in begin of file ?
<3> ehh, no.
<9> the open(FILE,">> test.txt);
<3> prepending to files is extremely hard.
<2> you know, talking about *** on a chat to a minor is likely to be illegal.
<9> write at the botton of file
<2> we should be careful here.
<10> *** chat away
<1> Gamez - you can't write to the beginning of a file without shifting everything
<1> at least in all the OSes I know
<9> damn...
<9> :s
<11> Is there a way to look for key presses?
<3> I wonder if reiser4 has such optimizations.
<1> Gamez - that's not to say it is impossible
<3> Tux: hopefully, otherwise IRC would be pretty useless
<11> Like Up arrow key..call this function...down arrow key...this other function?
<1> Gamez - see Tie::File for instance
<1> or perlrun for -i
<9> i'll read it :)
<10> Limbic_Region: Age is pretty irrelevant in the forming of world/life views, it all depends on how brain washed you are.
<1> age is - experience is not
<1> irrelevant that is
<3> Limbic_Region++ #couldn't have said it better
<10> yea, experience is not irrelevant, that's true.
<11> Is there something like INKEY? or something similar?
<1> and if you read what I wrote
<1> I said 16 years of experience
<10> hopefully I'll get some faster than most teens though :)
<1> not that you were incapable of having anything useful to say merely because of your age
<10> Limbic_Region: I'm not very good at reading what you write accurately am I?
<3> Tux: sorry, this is not BASIC.
<1> nope
<3> Tux: but look at Term::ReadKey et al.
<10> hehe
<11> ty
<12> is fetchrow_hashref the standard way results are retrieved with DBI?
<1> well, it is one of a handfull of methods
<1> all of which can be read about in TFM
<1> of course, if you are planning on storing those results in an array - using a hash ref seems pretty silly
<12> i wanted to access them by name instead of by index
<12> as the index is apt to change
<1> well, that's smart of you
<1> smarter than I can say for many
<1> but then you should have prefaced your question with
<12> i ***umed that was how most people did it
<11> hmm
<1> given that I am doing a select * or some such where the index of things is likely to change
<13> Hmm
<12> well, i never select *
<1> is using fetchrow_hashref the smartest choice for me
<11> Term::Readkey can't be installed in Windows :(
<13> Could someone please inform me about licences?
<13> I have no idea what license to choose
<1> that's even smarter bnovc
<3> dazjorz: artistic?
<1> but to say never is never a good idea
<12> i just wanted to make sure fetchrow_hashref wasn't frowned upon for any reasons that i may not be aware of
<13> Botje: Artistic?
<12> before i begin using it everywhere
<3> the same one perl uses
<13> Botje: What will it mean for me?
<1> bnovc - then you should have asked that
<3> it's a fairly open one
