Tom will probably be waffling about whether to attend; he has a new son! That<br>is awesome! We should encouage him to come by paying for his beer. Perl<br>Mongers: free as in free beer. Just for Tom.</blockquote><div>
<br>But he has to supply the cigars! (Tom: Go with the Arture Fuentes "It's A Boy" cigars; they're short fillers, but good and cheal nevertheless.)<br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

I'm hoping that I can get distracted by it and become smarted.</blockquote><div><br>More than you'll ever want to know. My fave sections were the differences between the execs, forks and the section on hard/symlinks.<br>
