keep digging   (geekin, random re me)

This week at work we've been having Perl (a programming language) training. We contracted MJD (so close) to come teach us stuff, and it's been cool. I've been working with perl for a while now, and he's published a bunch of useful perl stuff on his website, so I recognized the name. I've learned stuff from his site (and recommended it in turn for clear, concise explanations) in the past, so it was cool to get to meet him in person. He's a really nice guy, and a good teacher.

And then I told him his shirt was ugly. Or that's what it sounded like. I actually own almost exactly the same shirt he was wearing, but in a different color (mine's green, his was blue). The girl I went to prom with bought it for me in Hawaii.

We used to have Ugly Shirt Day every Tuesday, and holy crap were some of those shirts spectacularly ... noticeable. So one week I totally forgot until Tuesday morning, and the funniest thing I could find was this shirt that is identical (or perhaps completely different) to/from the one MJD was wearing. So I figured it would be kind of amusing to mention our Ugly Shirt Day tradition... thus the post title.
