Perl blog post #30


Another in my continuing (never-ending?) series about my relationship with Perl on my Other Blog.  This one delves more into the minutiae of Perl, so I won’t even suggest that you try to make sense of it if you’re not a techie.  But it’s all I have for this week.  So, you know, there you have it.  Or not.  Take your pick.  Or don’t.  That’s okay too.

Perl blog post #29


I’m still doing my series on Perl and Me, over on my Other Blog.  You should check it out if you’re a techie person.  If you’re not ... well, I told an interesting story about my college days, so there’s that at least.

Well, I mean, it’s interesting if you know anything about computer science.

Okay, so I told an entertaining story about my college days, which you may or may not see the point of, if you’re not a coder.  But it does reveal all sorts of heretofore-hidden secrets about what a slack ass I was when I was in school.  So ... yeah.

Perl blog post #28


I continue on my quest to understand Perl, and understand myelf.  This week there’s a fair amount of technical jargon, but also a fair amount of self-discovery.  Pop on over to the Other Blog and check it out if you’re so inclined.

Perl blog post #27


This week, yet another entry in my ongoing tech series over on my Other Blog.  This one is a bit more technical than the past couple, but it still contains some interesting philosophical bits about evolution.  Check it out.

Perl blog post #26


Another post in my ongoing series about why Perl over on my Other Blog.  This time I essay the topic of education for computer programmers, and I talk about which parts of my own education were most useful.  In this particular post, I barely even mention Perl, so go on and check it out, even if you don’t normally dig my tech posts.  It’s very non-tech-reader-friendly, trust me.

Perl blog post #25


Somehow I managed to get my latest Perl blog post out on my Other Blog before I keeled over dead from relapsing into the sickness that laid me low just after Christmas.  So I’m writing to you now from beyond the grave.  At least that’s what it feels like.  You know how people say they feel like death warmed over?  This is more like death left out to get get cold and stale.  I wish I felt warmed over.  That would be a major improvement.

Anyhow, go read the post, or not.  I mena, it’s only my dying wish.  But, you know ... do what you like.

Perl blog post #24


This week I continue my exploration of Perl as (sort of) literature.  This one is mildly more technical than the last, but still not out of the realm of interest for you non-techno-geeks, so I encourage you to check it out.
