During the YAPC 2006 Marty had a talk about "Lithp" where we (Marty and I) got a bit of an argument about LISP and APL, so I decided to prepare a lightning talk during the night. On the next day I learned that one speaker did not show up so there was a regular slot available for a real talk, thus I expanded my slides a bit and delivered a talk APL - one of the coolest programming languages ever ...inspired by the 'Lithp' talk.... Enjoy...
Since we (Rikka and I) were invited to a new year's party which required all of the participants to give talks about paranormal phenomena and the like, I decided to talk about the random number generator experiment which was conducted in 1998. The slides for this talk can be found here.
