• Commented on A restructured perlvar
  Thank you! This is a wonderful improvement. There has been a lot about marketing Perl in the blogosphere in the last year, and this is one of the best things I've seen. A great example of making easy things easy...

• Posted The people that make the perl community great to Guillermo Roditi

  Today, I ventured into #dbix-class inquiring about some performance problems I was having. I wasn’t complaining about the speed of DBIC, I was looking for ways to trim out work that I was doing that I could avoid doing. The script I was running (file parser + insert into…

  I'm not mad, Sawyer, I may just come across like that. The attitude of marketing for the sake of marketing *does* bother me though. It was the principal reason I chose not to participate in IronMan, even though I had...
• Commented on "Professional-looking project websites" Whatever...
  @dstar Point well taken. You are right. I should have said it more clearly: You should have a manual that's available in a number of formats, including a PDF version suitable for printing onto dead-tree form. Some of us find...

  @ shawnhcorey: I could get behind that. I just think that all yo uare going to end up with is a bunch of un(der)mantained websites to be honest... People have enough of a hard time maintaining the docs that come...

  @TheFinalCut: I very clearly understood what the original post said. And I still disagree. I don't see *anything* wrong with cpan and housing our documentation, manuals, etc there....

  @Shahqueeks: I never said presentation wasn't important. What is wrong with having our project's CPAN pages be their face to the world? There's nothing stopping you from making them really good docs. There is nothing stopping you from writing good,...
• Commented on "Professional-looking project websites" Whatever...
  @ SawyerX: My initial response still applies. What's the point of a website for Moose or DBIC besides as a way to centralize links to talks etc (which could very well be done in POD too)? I just don't see...
• Posted "Professional-looking project websites" Whatever... to Guillermo Roditi

  SawyerX, in his ongoing stream of posts regarding marketing Perl, recently blogged about project websites and suggested we all start hiring, and…

• Commented on A gripe about blogs.perl.org
  Do you have to re-log in between when you compose the post and when the post is actually saved? I lose my session on every pageview. I imagine someone else would have complained already if this was for everyone, but...
• Posted A gripe about blogs.perl.org to Guillermo Roditi

  Is it just me who has to re-authenticate on every single page load, or is this a known issue? It's really annoying? I seem to keep my session fine on the front page, but the MT interface asks me to authenticate every. single. time. I change pages, whether through a GET or POST…

  Today, Ovid blogged about long-running test-suites and how to optimize them.

  Yesterday, I was thinking about this same exact thing. I have a project where the compile-time hit of the collective lib…

• Commented on More on 100% Test Coverage
  Well, there's really nothing stopping you from using Moose types in procedural code, it would just be clunky. You could use use MooseX::Types to export the types into your procedural code and then do: use MooseX::Types::Moose qw(Str); sub foo {...
• Commented on New functionality in Cantella::Worker
  John, "Namespaces" are something you can implement through your worker itself. I, personally, use Cantella::Worker::Role::Beanstalk to manage my jobs, and implement something like it. What I do is watch more than one tube so I can get multiple types of...
• Posted New functionality in Cantella::Worker to Guillermo Roditi

  I just released a new version of Cantella::Worker and I'm really happy with the improvements. I updated Cantella::Worker::Manager::Prefork and added a couple of…

• Posted Introducing Cantella::Worker / Cantella::Worker::Role::Beanstalk to Guillermo Roditi

  Yesterday and today I released to CPAN Cantella::Worker and Cantella::Worker::Role::Beanstalk. I am very happy with these…

• Posted Cantella::Store::UUID - 0.002000 to Guillermo Roditi

  I've released a new version of Cantella::Store::UUID. (git) It features one incompatible change, but I figured it was OK since I'm pretty sure nobody is using…

• Commented on MooseX::TypeMap
  Well, it is finished, documented and tested. The one hurdle to getting it to CPAN is figuring out one small behaviour detail that rafl and I have been discussing and adding tests for that. I would say no later than...
• Posted MooseX::TypeMap to Guillermo Roditi

  Two ago I began writing the beginnings of what was to be the first Cantella::Data::Tabular renderer class. The idea was to render a Cantella::Data::Tabular::Table object into a plain text table. I failed miserably. Within 5 seconds I…

• Posted Tabular Data, spreadsheets and cell references to Guillermo Roditi

  Since Cantella::JobQueue has been put on hold after the discovery of Beanstalkd, I've moved on to other projects. The first on my list was to add some new views to a Reaction-based application. Specifically, I needed a couple of ways to export tabular data. I needed to display it as inline XHTML…

• Posted Reaction and CRUD implemented in Roles to Guillermo Roditi

  Ever since Moose::Role came to life, I have been dying to refactor the default CRUD implementation in Reaction to use Roles. Over the last couple of months I slowly did that work as I had…

  Aha! Thanks for the tip. I am now looking at Beanstalk, which I did not know about. Thanks a lot!...

  Hi, someone named Aaron contacted me about merging two accounts, a side effect of the earlier migration issues. I could not find email addresses for either of you so I am resorting to this post. the relevant accounts are guillermo_roditi...

  Yes, it is fixed now.

  
  Yet another suspect thing, at beginning of "Variables related to formats" section, line 1571: The special variables for formats are a subset of those for filehandles so they have... and here it ends. So they have what?

  Either perl sets C<$!>, or C<$!> is set to, not both :-)

  Wells Fargo has agreed to restructure my mortgage but with a prepayment penalty and does not state the terms of the prepayment penalty.

• brian d foy commented on A restructured perlvar

  Wells Fargo makes you use $& if you prepay your mortgage. This slows down the time it takes to process the transaction and makes everyone around you complain loudly that you're doing it wrong.

• brian d foy commented on A restructured perlvar

  Thanks for all of the proofreading. I've read my version of perlvar so many times in the past week that I'm thinking I never want to see another Perl variable. :)
