| 16:14 | chris | morning |
| 16:18 | owen | Hi chris |
| 16:19 | chris | hiya owen |
| 16:19 | hows things? | |
| 16:19 | owen | Not bad. |
| 16:20 | chris | ohh cool |
| 16:21 | owen | Unfortunately I'm behind on the whole object-oriented stuff |
| 16:21 | chris | its a fad |
| 16:21 | :-) | |
| 16:21 | owen | :) |
| 16:22 | I have a feeling my current coding practices are less efficient than they could be | |
| 16:22 | Perl has the whole CPAN thing, so I'm trying to get to know PHP's PEAR | |
| 16:23 | chris | yeah, cpan is the best thing about perl |
| 16:39 | thd | chris: I would really like that fad be over, but it seems to be endorsed in Perl 6. OOPS code looks like procedural code written backwards unless I wrote it when I needed to use Python. |
| 16:40 | chris: Do you know of any prospects for that fad winding down? | |
| 16:40 | chris | thd: invent a new one :-) |
| 16:41 | when I went to university the fad was Abstract Data Types .. OO is just a level of obfustication over that as far as im concerned | |
| 16:46 | thd | chris: I should start a fad for code that aborts with an error if it is incompletely commented. "Compilation error not enough comments line 60." |
| 16:46 | chris | heh |
| 16:46 | good idea | |
| 16:47 | "Warning insufficient POD" |
