Well, this ol' JAPH thing started back in 88-ish when I was posting to Randal L. "Some Clever Phrase Here" Schwartz and I'd change the phrase to fit.

When I started Just another Perl hacker, and that got boring, so I stepped it up to Perl code: print "Just another Perl hacker," but again, that lacked the ability to soak up my then-spare-time, so print join " ", reverse split ' ', "hacker, Perl another Just" and that started a trend of me constantly trying to outdo myself in I have a little less spare time these days, so the JAPH signoffs have So, in answer to your question, feel free to declare yourself a JAPH, print "Just another Perl hacker," -- You must Sign in before you can post messages.
