• Posted Why I joined Propaganda.pm to lichtkind

  4 reasons:

  1: Right man.I was there when it started. At German Perl Workshop this march in Berlin Richard ignited with his inofficial keynote a lot of controversy. All what said wasn't new or IMO just opinion or chatter/not relevant. Late…

• Commented on Creating My Own Buzzword
  Thanks, your right, repetition creates bugs and is a tell for bad structure (mostly), yeah I knew DDD, thats one of the reasons i want to get off that, yes i know a bit XP, Scrum and Agile. And i...
• Posted Creating My Own Buzzword to lichtkind

  Most of you love programming and shut ears when its only starts to buzzing anywhere but please hold on, its for a good cause and maybe even you might benefit from it.

• Commented on Silent Night for KephraXP
  many thanks, actually its currently ment just to be downloaded and run but I will look into it...
• Posted Silent Night for KephraXP to lichtkind

  Yes there are still some (hard to find) bugs, but Kephra, the most curious and perlish editor had a small and silent breakthrough. The new (complete) rewrite is now self hosting and will be from…

• Posted WxTut is complete, whats next from you? to lichtkind

  In the next Perl Magazine will come the 12th and last part of my big WxPerl tutorial. To me its almost like my teenage child is now out of the house (brain). You might complain: "but its German, I can't read that". Don't worry the

• Posted My IPW afterthoughts to lichtkind

  This will be just partially about the just ended Italian Perl Workshop in Bologna, because frankly most of the talks I did not not understand, even if I would like to improve my Italian. So why even bother being one of a hand full not Italian?

• Posted Why You need Kephra to lichtkind

  The editor is our most closest tool we spent most time with, any discussion will spark highly emotional reaction. But because it has to be the cosy seat to our personality I started Kephra.

  Lets be honest most people I know see it like my little pet project ("good you allowed to upload to …

  lotta thanks for putting that together...
• Commented on Acceptable Community Standards
  I think no flaming is helpful. Supposed most people here have some basic understanding that female optics are for males correlated to some warm fuzzy feeling which can give also an API that simply just works. But its also clear...
• Posted to say schwern++ is simply too simple to lichtkind

  Yeah, another emotional bla and even lengthy - but might be insightful and its not tiring, promise.

  Yesterday listened to Schwerns talk on youtube and it triggered some memories of things I wanted talk about over and over again but m…

  welcome liz, herbert...
• Posted My YAPC to lichtkind

  It was a good YAPC although I already knew FFM and their slightly musty University, so it lacked the excitement of a new unknown place. But I guess its part of the joy to meet the class of Perl again, greet domm here, say hai to karen there and so on.

  Highlight was to me Stevan Littles pre…

• Posted remember GCL? to lichtkind

  Some of you witnessed me last August standing in front of the great Perl congregation at YAPC::EU and talking a lot of steamy hot air out of my mouth. More precisely how nice it would be to have a DSL for GUI creation like Rebol has it. I just…

• Commented on Teaching Perl with Comedy
  Wolfgang: I would be very glad, to get your material. But lesson I learned from last years: don't plan too much in advance. Maybe i can incorporate some into my ongoing Perl tutorial. Otherwise it just ends up on my...
• Posted Teaching Perl with Comedy to lichtkind

  While testing some code for an forum answer i made a stupid mistake. It was late, I didn't thought of it, why in the world should I name the Module "Test" and wonder then why it behaves unexpected (I do know why! - some newb might not). But the more glorious idea is that we all have such moments…

  thanks a lot toby, maybe i can wrap the clinkable around it....
• Commented on catchable by gimmicks
  your right but thats was not my point since hg and bitbucket have these features too. my post was about how much the icing on top i.e. the nice statistics graphs can influence the fun I have on my project....
• Commented on No Accepted Perl 6 Talks at YAPC::EU 2012?
  max: does that mean my perl rx 6 talk can happen in the end?...
• Posted catchable by gimmicks to lichtkind

  The Kephra rewrite is doing very well, expect some great revelations even for Wx programming in genereal. But today i just want to rant about bibucket, which hosts my hg repo for most of my projects. I mean i like mercurial better…

• Posted 8th Week of Perl 6 Tablets to lichtkind

  This might be the last entry about the perl 6 tablets for a longer time. (lot of projects and articles have to be written soon and the moose article for heise sits on the brink and no article from me in this issue of perlzeitung).…

• Posted 7th Week of Perl 6 Tablets to lichtkind

  ... and what happened?

  I added a FAQ (Appendix F) page (and moved links to appendix H aka href appendix), but its just questions so far. You migth ask, but there is already a semiofficial FAQ. Tr…

• Posted Help to write Perl 6 Documentation to lichtkind

  You have no clue about Perl 6 but still want to help? Here is your chance. After Appendix A now stabilizes and most of the 750 entries are well formated (signatures still catching on) and in

• Posted How Perl Documentation Could Look Like to lichtkind

  Yes this is in a way my 5th grant report in a row, but even for Perl 5 people that might get insightful and even useful.

  As I prepared a piece for the Perlzeitung which will not happen, i intervi…

  A warm welcome!

• Steven Haryanto commented on First Post

  Welcome, Liz.

  I suspect that Wendy also got asked with the same question a lot. ;-)
  

• Kal commented on Acceptable Community Standards

  Its really nice to see this sort of feedback. I'm glad that others feel the same way. These sorts of ugly incidents may have the reverse effect as I'm seeing the really good side of the community and may try to attend more events.

  I'm autodidactic, but I get to the point where my growth is limited by my ability to talk through problems with other people. I live in perl-land. And its awesome that I don't have to change my toolset to keep up with the times or to keep away from social ignorance.

  Welcome! Sort of :)
  

• Mithaldu commented on Why I joined Propaganda.pm

  I am slightly interested in it too, but the lack of an IRC channel means that there's very little chance of useful communication for me.
