Postmodern Perl

Well, I don’t understand all that politics stuff. I’m glad we’re free here and everybody can be different. And all the folksonomy that Dr Zoe was talking about, I’m cool with that. It’s like this computer language called Perl that we used—no honest, it’s not as nerdy as it sounds. There’s no system to it, no rules, you can do whatever you like. They call it a ‘postmodern’ language. It’s really cool technology, all about sharing and freedom, so it really fits in with what everybody’s talking about. It’s really radical cos it doesn’t come from the big corporations. I mean, ok, G & B’s a big company but the software’s free. We were working on this system that looks through CCTV with software to identify suspicious facial characteristics and provocative movements, so you can catch threats before they happen and make people safe. Amazing! They’re letting me carry on developing it here which is great. Makes up for a lot of other things. Am I allowed to talk about this? It’s actually based on algorithms developed by Dr Feramor’s research into our evolutionary past.
