If you ever take part in a trivia quiz, don't ask Yoda to be part of your team. He's fucking useless.
According to Yoda, Charles Dickens used "paste" to cure venereal diseases in prostitutes.
Fucking Yoda.

It's been suggested in an anonymous comment to an earlier post that a certain amount of vitriol is missing from my work of late. That whatever edge I had is in sore need of honing. Fair comment. Worth heeding. Especially since it's from the guy who used to edit my work in the Dark Portal Games debacle. Lots of people can get away with saying things like this to me; but especially him. Can't promise any overnight improvements, obviously, but I can start polling you lot for ways to get my head back in working order.
I'd be very grateful for any suggestions you could offer for things to watch, read or listen to. Preferably stuff that's readily available online, as I live under a rock. I'll consider almost anything; my tastes can be pretty diverse at times.

Only two suggested phrases to include in my next bit of prose? Well, alright. I'll start writing that tomorrow. So if you have any other words or phrases you want me to use, now's the time to suggest 'em, folks…
[EDIT] Okay, three. Noticed one of the responses to one of my automated posts...

Now the detective serial has finished at last, I think this is a decent jumping-on point for the writing game. God, I hate that term. 'The writing game'. It sounds so juvenile. Still, the rules, for those of you who don't get it yet:

I use XAMPP to serve local copies of my various sites. For those not in the know, XAMPP is just a package that makes installing Apache, MySQL, Perl and PHP a little less painful.
Lately I've started trying to put my Perl knowledge to use by writing CGI scripts. Now, for my local copies, the server insists that the shebang line contain a literal reference to the location of an instance of Perl. Since I'm running XAMPP on Windows XP, that means the shebang is #!"C:\xampp\perl\bin\perl.exe" rather than the #!/usr/bin/perl with which we might be more familiar.
So far so good, but it means that whenever I want to upload said scripts to, say, a Linux server, I'll have to change the shebang line each time. I can see that becoming a pain in the arse.
So, does anyone know if it's possible to configure my instance of Apache to just read #!/usr/bin/perl as an alias for #!"C:\xampp\perl\bin\perl.exe"?
Edit: I tried using the ScriptInterpreterSource directive. However, I must have done something wrong with that. I associated .cgi and .pl files with XAMPP's instance of perl.exe. When I tried to load a CGI script, it didn't recognise the *nix shebang line, and on top of that it opened the script in the text editor too. Obviously I didn't know what I was doing, so I took the directive out. Back to square one.
