New version, new method, new theme

General August 7th, 2007

I used the instructions posted a few days ago to use subversion to check out the latest version of Wordpress and upgrade the blog. In theory, for the next upgrades all I’ll need to do is backup, switch subversion to the newer tag, and update and the blog will be upgraded. I’ve been thinking about putting the site under svn for a while now. Maybe I’ll move it all soon.

I also upgraded the theme, for those who don’t read via RSS. This one still has that full page flow and three columns, in a neat package, and has comment counts with the posts.

Let me know if you think anything’s broken.

2007 Perl survey

General August 7th, 2007

Take part in the 2007 Perl Survey!

The Perl Survey is an attempt to capture a picture of the Perl community
in all its diversity. No matter what sort of Perl programmer you are,
we’d love to hear from you.

The survey can be found at: perlsurvey.org/

It only takes about 5 minutes to complete.

The survey will be open until September 30th, 2007. After that, we’ll be
reporting on the results and making the data freely available.

Please feel free to forward this email to any other Perl programmers
you know.

Thanks for your help!

Yours,

Kirrily “Skud” Robert

Parallel PS3s

Even cooler was d.net announcing a pre-release Linux client for the CellBE processor. Each one of these babies would do 170M keys/sec on RC5-72 and and optimized OGR core is on the way.
