Perl’s a singer and fantasy football

I’ve not played a lot of poker the last week or so as I have found a new site that has a lot of CGI scripts so I have been trying to get some of those to work on my website. Whilst I managed to get some to work that were hosted by the site itself I have failed to get the scripts to work that need hosting on my server. I have since found out that this is because cgi files are not supported by my host so I need to call the pl files to get them to work. Unfortunately I know next to nothing about Perl scripts so I am having a spot of bother although I do recall buying a PHP, Perl book a few years ago so I need to fish that out and do some homework!!

We had The Online Poker League game at PokerStars yesterday and the match was Limit Holdem and of the 7 players I finished second. Having some of my family turn up half way through the game was certainly a distraction but I was please with the result which I think has put me to the top of the table. There is, however, still a long way to go and if we get some more events with 10 to 12 players then 30 points for first means that players can quickly work their way up the table.

I managed to fit in a satellite to todays $100k gtd on PokerStars and I managed to come through that so I am looking forward to playing that in an hour but with 14,920 players already signed up this could be a long game!! (or very short..lol). It wouldn’t surprise me if there is a full complement of 20,000 players for this with 3,000 getting paid.

On a final note it is the start of the football season next week and I have set up my fantasy football team on the Premier League website. This should be a bit of a laugh and best of all it is free. If you have a team on this site then you can join my league (code: 663171-116510) or you can set up your team and then input the code in the league tab.
