perl threads

life as a programmer. it's not just the day job but often i have fun programming this or that. i haven't been keeping up as much as i like, the photography and travel take the place off going through random downloads to learn new languages or object oriented concepts.

for the past week and a half. i've been playing with perl threads. fun stuff, how it compares with threads from other languages and system (posix, java green, win32, etc.) minutia that maybe only a few dozen people in new york will even think about.

unfortunately, my main server is closing in on ten years old. i've always been on the clotting edge of technology. and twice during these experiments my machine crashed, probably due to lack of memory or processor power. to make the matter worst my server is somewhere in jersey so i have to wait a friend to hit the reset button. *sigh*.

that's what i'm doing right now... waiting for my main box to reboot. *sigh*
