I've submitted a proposal to speak at XTech in Dublin in May. That'll be another perl-sceptical audience. I called it "Perl and Parrot - Baseless Myths and Startling Realities" :) I've also finally got myself one of those new-fangled "blog" thingies over at http://timbunce.wordpress.com/ and I've posted the abstract there. I'd appreciate comments and suggestions. Tim.
