Back Again (Sep 30 2003 10:59 GMT) - Well, my personal blog suffered the same fate that my corporate one did. Oh well. At least I can use the Google cache to repost all of my stuff, and if I do it right, my permalinks won't be broken. It's gonna take a few days, so just be patient. At least I'm back up and running. |

Making commercials fun again (Sep 30 2003 10:58 GMT) - Maybe it's a sign that I'm cracking up (or need sleep), but commercials are much more fun now that I imagine an alien popping out of the chest of someone who's discussing, for instance, the merits of the large portion of (insert mass produced food here) versus the supersized portion of (insert mass produced food here). Or running down the restrictions on some snazzy new car price. Or delivering the punchline that was funny the first two times you heard it, not the next 500. It works for anything, just reserve the last five seconds of a commercial to some horrible last sentence before death ("Corn nuts...") and then the alien popping out with a 'Screeeek' (or whatever sound that little bugger makes). |

My module in the Perl phalanx (Sep 30 2003 10:58 GMT) - Phalanx is a project initiated by the Perl QA Kwalitee Team to write more tests for the core Perl distribution along with a number of CPAN modules. Apparently it was inspired by the Ponie project since it needs lots and lots of core and noncore tests to see if replacing the current Perl5 engine with Parrot works properly. They're targeting 100 modules to improve the tests, and SPOPS is among them. What's even cooler than this is that they're trying to recruit newer programmers to do this, killing the 'learn to test', 'learn perl modules', and 'become part of this great community' birds with one stone. We'll see how it flies... |

Relying on external memories (Sep 30 2003 10:58 GMT) - Jon Udell has a few brief anecdotes about relying on external resources (google, imdb, etc.) for memory. That is, you don't have to remember a fact, you just have to remember where a fact is kept. The Tipping Point references this practice as well, except between two people instead of a person and a database. My mom was always the "keeper of the stories" in my family, so I'd just ask her if I wanted to know if I was in first or second grade for my grand "Emperor Has No Clothes" performance. |
