How I met Zen Spider
We used to work together at The Omni Group
He makes me smile. He occasionally wears colors. He likes yummy food. He’s a really good teacher.
I have a printout of a perl regex on my wall at work that Ryan wrote. It’s a regex to recognize a perl style regex, and he used m// as the delimeters. It looks like a pattern, not code. Here is one piece of it:
\\/(\\\\\\/|[^\\/])+?\\/And he taught me perl years ago so that I could read hairy regexen.
Ryan is a really cool dude with awesome ruby skills … and he has a cool mustache too!
He doesn’t have a ponytail, but he totally has an attitude! So he’s OK with me.
