Jeppe: new at Flickr
olleolleolle Originally uploaded by Jeppe Norsker. After being a Flickr user for 1 minute, Jeppe decided to portray yours truly, and this is the first portrait (of many?) from our shared office.

Examples galore
The PLEAC – Programming Language Examples Alike Cookbook has very many languages’ implementations of the examples of the Perl Cookbook. They have a Haskell section!
