Looking at the steam coming off the mail in my inbox this week, I definitely need a place to lay low for a while. One reader kindly recommended Geek Cruises, where I could work on my tan and my Perl programming skills at the same time. He also thought it would help my love life but I'm not so sure.

The additions are an option to make the output in a BB Code format (easier for forum pasting) and some simple HTML code integration to make the results more portable. There are also enhancements to the CSS that keep you from having to View Source each time to get the results and a setting letting you specify the tab size. You can test it out here.

Queue submissions being scarce, I suggest we all submit limericks for consideration.  Mod up your favorites.    I'm no poet, so I'll submit a favorite of my childhood:    There was a young woman named Bright,  Who traveled much faster than light    She set out one day  In a relative way    And returned on the previous night.    I'm afraid I don't remember the author.
