No detailed notes for day 2. Started off in the morning heading to Programming the Apache lifecycle, but after the break, switched to Practical Parsing with Perl6::Rules. A mental note for future OSCONs:

If the session you’re in sucks, and Conway is speaking, it doesn’t matter what he’s talking about, just go to that one.

I walked out of Perl6::Rules really impressed with a lot of the changes being made to the Perl 6 regex engine. The afternoon consisted of Tricks fo the Wizard, which basically covered tricks with globs, AUTOLOAD, and tie. The bit I found interesting came right at the tail end, when talking about source filters.

Right now, I’m listening to Tim O’Reilly’s keynote address. Some interesting points, but most of it feels like it’s a big infomercial for O’Reilly.
