That's me at work. I'm a certified engineer but I'm working as a network administrator. I've started programming using C/C++ in the last decade and abandoned it till 2003. In C/C++ I never get 'the job done'. That was really annoying. As I discovered Perl I was impressed how easy it was for me to solve tasks.

Nodes I find useful:
node 43037
node 34786
node 91080
