Thank you, kind sir.
I think that exposing my ideas for peer review makes me a better programmer: I regularly find that I leave a discussion wiser. I also enjoy the different characters I encounter and the strong sense of community.
It's also a great displacement activity when you're stuck on something at work. Much better than tidying the desk ;-)
Yours,
fish

Kevins right. Good job. You have hepled me in the past. Maybe someday I will know enough to return the favor.
Congrats fishiface...
As fas as this forum goes after reading a similar post that Kevin also started about Tooting his horn, you deserved it also Kevin. Congrats as well.
Everday I do the following when I get to work:
- Get Dr. Pepper
- Login to pc
- Check email
- Login to Tek-tips and check on my post as well as any that I might have suggested answers. Been doing it for a while now.

The question is Stiddy,
How much have you learned from Tek-Tips?
I guess quite a lot.

I actually learn the most from this forum. I kinda feel more like a student in PERL and a little more knowing in other forums. I will keep posting and learning and help when I get an opportunity. Thanks for you time and help also Trojan...

As far as learning PERL. I'm doing ok. Could always study and learn harder. I just wrote a quick script to launch Tivoli hardware and software inventories on nearly 4000 workstations around the globe. This has previously been done via GUI which takes hours and even days. I was able to incorporate some checks and balances also. I used some of the array things I just learned from the last post you helped me with. Good deal.

Thank you all.
Having watched the MVP list fluctuate recently (I first noticed it only a few weeks ago when it was mentioned in this forum), I think that it can be a little erratic and I suspect that it was only luck that I hit the top spot rather than, say, Trojan or duncdude - both of whom, from looking at their profiles, have worked far harder and for much longer than me.
However: it's a clear fillip for perl and for the great community of regulars and passers-by who make this such a vibrant forum.
As for the beers, if anyone is ever near the Calleva Arms in Silchester, North Hampshire, UK, I'm easy to find.
Appropos of nothing, I had an email read out on BBC Radio 4's flagship Today programme on Saturday morning so I'm doubly chuffed.
Yours,

This seemed like an appropriate place to post my commendation of Fish's efforts on my behalf.
Because of his coaching, I have been able to adapt a script I have been working on, to become and perform as another similar and very useful XML editor.
Although I'm very early in the learning process of Perl and scripting in gereral, this help has taken me far ahead of my previous position of dissappointment and failure. Boy, did that feel good!
Thanks, Fish.
