On Saturday, April 16th 2005 I did a very foolish thing. I joined an IRC network called irc.perl.org and a channel called #catalyst. My life (and the remaining fragments of my sanity) have never been the same again. So in this talk, I thought I'd try and share a bit of what it's been like, the fun parts, the terrifying parts, the straight up batshit insane parts, and especially the parts that I could never have predicted but probably ended up being the most awesome and the most useful to other people. Part cautionary tale, part encouragement to try things you aren't really competent to do yet, mostly a collection of random anecdotes with a token attempt at an underlying theme, this talk won't have a moral ... but if it did, it would be "most of the time things don't get done by the best person to do it, but by whoever was stupid enough to try it anyway". If nothing else, hopefully I'll successfully help you make different mistakes than I did ...
