I am writing this in an auditorium on Carnegie Mellon University. This is the official start of YAPC and I am waiting for the keynote speeches.

I ate dinner with Larry Wall last night (well, sat near him). I spent the last 2 days in a Parrot workshop with a handful of parrot implementers.

I’m excited what the next few days will bring. Being social is much easier with other people who share interests. Ironically, perl mongers are very social people.
