• Commented on Perl is Dead (to bing.com)
  @coke, yes. That was the point of the post. Bing doesn't realize that "Perl is Alive" is a topic of discussion on the web. I pointed out the link in my screenshot....
• Commented on Perl is Dead (to bing.com)
  There is nothing custom to my bing setup (not that I've done anyway), and I get the same results in firefox, again having never been to bing before in this browser. Oh well....
• Posted Perl is Dead (to bing.com) to silent11

  I've been a google user ever since giving up AltaVista back in the day. I've heard good things about bing, laughed at their funny TV advertisements, and have deep-down (in a weird sort of way) wanted a search product from M$ to be a success.

  I decided a few days ago that I'd give bing.com …

• Posted Tips on perl.org to silent11

  Why does perl.org dis on other languages?

  "Perl -- It's like Java, only it lets you deliver on time and under budget."

  Are you kidding me? Is that what we're about?

  Instead, why don't we be critical abou…

• Posted Another reason why I use Emacs as my primary editor to silent11

  My editor of choice is Emacs. Like Perl, one of its strengths is its flexibility. (some would argue this a weakness. to each their own) Here's just one example I recently found... you can extend Emacs to change the cursor based on what mode you are in (normal, read-only, overwrite)

• Posted Thank You, Perl Advent Calendar Authors of 2009 to silent11

  I Love ALL the Perl Advent Calendars!! The Perl6 calendar has got me SO excited for Perl6, I can't wait to finish a couple of my projects so I can get a new version of pugs installed. The last time I installed pugs was 11…

  >"...Perl.org site - which isn't directly run by TPF by the way."

  Perhaps that is part of the problem. If perl.org is Perl's front face for marketing, why isn't TPF running it directly?

  >"As for the Camel there was much discussion..."

  I still don't think this has been resolved. Yes, old people associate Perl with a camel. Do new users need to associate it with a book which hasn't had a new edition in 10 years?

  >"...see the TPF marketing archives."

  Where are those?

  At the top of the search results, you should see this line:

  Results are included for pearl is alive. Show just the results for perl is alive.
  

  If you click on that link, you'll get the results you were looking for.

  I'll buy you some cookies. I need to know the shipping address though. :)

• tempire commented on The Making of Mojocasts

  Sweet! Pun intended.

  Use the following address:
  #1 Glen Drive, Chico, California, USA

  I've contacted the shipper, and they'll ship to the correct location as necessary.

  Beautiful job on the screencasts, looking forward to more!

  I've made a couple of screencasts, and the process you describe is exactly right. I didn't have iMovie and found the audio level to be a major problem. The whole process is very time consuming, as in one hour per minute!
