I figured 5.10's release, and Christmas vacation, was a decent opportunity.I ran into a lot of problems. First, note that my existing PerlApache installs were PPC. And this is an Intel Mac.

There's other season records on the line too -- most TD passes by a QB, most TD receptions by a receiver, most points scored by a team, biggest cumulative point differential, longest consecutive winning streak, and so on.This unprecedented game was scheduled to be seen only by about 40 percent of the normal NFL audience, because it is going to be on the NFL Network, which...http://use.perl.org/~pudge/journal/35211?from=rss Merry Christmas, More Songs- December 24, 2007 More Christmas videos are up on the Christmas edition of the Longest Concert Evar, including Christmas at Ground Zero, Little Drummer Boy, Christmas Must Be Tonight, and You Gotta Get Up.I wanted to do 12 Christmas songs, but I fell one short.

That streak ended at the hands of the Steelers, and the then-lossless Ben Roethlisberger. The Patriots would not lose another game -- including handing Big Ben his first-ever loss -- until the 2005 season.Except for one.December 20, 2004, the Partriots travel to Miami, and Tom Brady gets intercepted four times (for some perspective, he has only five INTs this season so far) and A.J.
