rafael's Journalrafael's use Perl JournalAirtight- May 27, 2005 It occurs to me that Moebius' most excellent comic book Le garage hermétique from which my workstation's hostname comes has been canonically translated into English as the Airtight Garage, thus removing the implicit but probably evident reference to Hermes Trismegistus. I also note the interesting fact that this picture appeared on my defunct blog some years ago, and comes probably from there :)http://use.perl.org/~rafael/journal/24903?from=rss Prefacing- May 17, 2005 By the way, I forgot to mention that I wrote the preface of this book by Philippe Verdret. Its title, translated to English, would be From Perl to Java: Programming with Regular Expressions. (Wow, 3rd entry. It's journal-day !)http://use.perl.org/~rafael/journal/24738?from=rss One-click installation- May 17, 2005 I wasn't too happy to see that this Linux Distribution Chooser (found via del.icio.us) asserts that Mandriva Linux doesn't support "one-click software installation". I wonder what they mean by that. Oh, and they also claim that our distribution isn't free. So why can you download ISOs And all rpms of free software we produce is available on mirrors, even when not found in the distribution ISOs. In short, a web site with pretty graphics and all, but they failed to get their facts right.http://use.perl.org/~rafael/journal/24734?from=rss Sub::Identify- May 13, 2005 After an idea by Chia-Liang Kao, of svk fame, I uploaded Sub::Identify to CPAN.http://use.perl.org/~rafael/journal/24666?from=rss |
