Ask JAPH - A Tumblr Experiment
So Tumblr, well known blogging platform, has this feature where you can set up a simple site and then invite people to ask you questions. I thought it would be fun to try out doing this for Perl.
Why?
- Get the Perl name out there some more
- Offer yet another place other than Linked In and Stack Overflow for people to ask questions about Perl
- Teaching a subject is the best way to learn that subject
- Give me something to do with my abundance of free time (this one is sarcastic...)
Not sure which to be more scared about - getting zero questions or getting lots of questions! But I'm more excited about getting lots of questions.
Whether you're completely new to Perl, or a Perl expert with a random question, you can always Ask JAPH!
Let's see how this goes :-)
Very cool! Is there a way to use CNAMEs with tumbler? That way something more externally recognizeable as Perlish could be used as a domain?
There is a way to use CNAMES with tumblr. If this experiment is a success I'll definitely consider grabbing a domain.
Got my first question! Unsurprisingly it was about the version number debate... not really the kind of question I had in mind but I took a shot at giving my opinion :-)
