I started today off with a sigh.  Folks implementing our new e-commerce
implementation surprised the business with an hour (and still counting)
of downtime while they cut over to the new system -- at 9:00 AM on a
Friday morning!  Sigh ...

opinions.

Programming languages, in order of what I use on a regular basis:

Tcl in Vignette V/5, Perl, Ruby, Tcl in AOLserver, C, C++, C#.

Yes, it's true.  I get paid to write Tcl day in, day out.  I love it.
