It costs one quid..

As you may know in the UK, the cost of petrol is now over one pound per litre. Another bone of contention is the price of eggs. The price of a normal box of half dozen eggs used to be 65 to 70p but to my horror I discovered they were now selling at 99p! I've noticed the similar excessive increase in price for mixed grapes and salmon at my local supermarket.
The egg price has been picked up in the digital spy forums and could this be the reason for the price increase?

London Perl Workshop

Yesterday, I attended the London Perl Workshop just to see what stuff is the out there in the Perl world. There was some interesting stuff discussed. I should look into more of these details. I badly need a new (used) desktop with Linux. I'm still of the opinion things are better that way for Perl development. I bumped into a couple of acquaintances as well! One of the funny things that happened was someone brought in a cowbell and played it at the end of the workshop and made reference to more cowbell in a Saturday Night Live sketch, which I started playing the video loudly.

I also bought a couple of books Intermediate Perl and Mastering Perl for work.
But I will have a look at it first. ;)

Wooshy Changes

I've decided to change this blog a bit. I am going to make this a more general tidbits blog rather than a technical only. So anything can and will go here. I'll just say what I see. I've been thinking what that might entail.

• Coding (Perl, Java...)
• Security (Issues, vulnerabilities)
• Social Networking (Facebook)
• Computing (anything not mentioned above)
• Sport/Gaming
• Entertainment
• Music
  
• News
• Travel/Food & Drink
• Misc stuff

I've started to post a fair bit on a friend's techno blog at michaeldaw.org
