Things I learned at YAPC::EU (a far from complete list, others may have a better one):
- The tower is still leaning (I was sure they’d have fixed it by now).
- DBD::Oracle might have improved since we installed it.
- Beer is a wonderful social lubricant.
- … and so is superb Chocolate (as Tim Bunce and Alison Randal can attest).
- While name-dropping is fun, many of the awesome and friendly people I met just use Perl in their day job, or fiddle with perl as a hobby, or just hang out in the community.
- PIMC.
- I look a bit like Todd Rundgren.
