Perspective

One of the reasons I haven’t been posting much of late is because I haven’t been doing much random web-searching. Hacking has been of interest to me of late, so I’ve been spending a lot of my time on-line reading up on an assortment of technical issues. But I don’t want to turn MMG! into a tech blog, so I haven’t been sharing (well, not much ), despite how fun I’ve been finding it.

This year, like the past three years, the London Perl Mongers have been making a Perl Advent Calendar . For each day of December through the 25th, one can select a new box on the calendar and get a short tutorial on a different Perl module. I’ve been visiting daily since the first of the month.

I was amused that Electrolite picked it up, and Boing Boing from there. I don’t think PNH or Cory are all that interested in boning up on the CPAN .

But, of course, it is such good geeky fun that a lot of people can take pleasure in the fact that it exists even without wanting to read 25 days of Perl documentation. But it never occurred to me to post it here… I’m too close to tech stuff now — I’ve lost perspective on what could be worth sharing without running the risk of making MMG! unreadable to anyone without my precise technical interests.

Comments

My programming skills stop with simple HTML and CSS, but I appreciate elegant expressions of "programmer culture," if you will.
