Offer HN: I'm proficient with perl
I'm pretty reasonable with perl and I'm at a loose end. If you think i can knock something off for you in a day or so, let me know!

To my eye, it puts off the whole layout a bit.
I've gone off and read all the articles using (google) "site:news.ycombinator.com payment gateway australia" and havent found any really good stuff on webpayment gateways in australia.Is there anyone out there who has used, and integrated a web payment gateway in australia? what are your experiences with the provider/with the integration?Because of all the horror stories, i'm going to keep...
I'm building a consumer routing type device and need some low priced hardware that can run linux. The hardware needs to be able to support 802.11g/n and have at least one ethernet port (three preferable).I've built a prototype using the board from pcengines.ch (which is a great bit of kit), however to make this thing commercially viable, i need a board that comes in at about 1/2 the price, say...
i'm not sure what the current status of it is, but it could be a good starting point to research some more modern options.
i have much more energy now than i did before i started this routine about 3 years ago!
I'm a 1st time entrepreneur who's got a great idea, and being my 1st time, not a lot of clue.I've developed a proof of concept and have sourced hardware for a prototype and am creating a business plan to flesh out the idea (which as an IT guy is pretty tough going).my idea is validated by friends saying they know people (and who are people) who have been looking for this specific solution but...

as a teenager i found that i knew the words to _heaps_ of classic tracks. i'm not sure if its because of the conscious or the unconscious (ie sleeping) (or a combination of both) listening i did, but found it weird.
remembering this (in my 30's now), i thought it would be and interesting experiment to try it again, pretty much trying to pick stuff up by osmosis.
I have some learn french audio books and put them on in my ears while performing various tasks. the idea is that i dont concentrate on the book per se, but the other task at hand.
for me in my 30's now, there wasnt the expected "kung fu, i know kung fu" moment, so i thought, as i dont use french in my normal day to day activities it didnt really work so well.
later on (with my french speaking GF) we would have a chat and i would ask things like "is this a french word" etc etc... i'm not sure these words were from previous conversations, or whatever, so from a scientific POV, its pretty much a negative... in my unscientific opinion however, i think that i have absorbed a bit of french from the osmosis type of learning.
i guess it depends on your goals and what you want to achieve.
if you want to pick up hard facts quickly, then learning by osmosis, at least in my experience, is not a very efficient way of doing it.
if you just want to pick things up "along the way" the learning my osmosis may work for you, however keep in mind you may not have the "kung fu, i know kung fu" moments.
as always YMMV :-)
