Welcome to yet another fortnight summary. Lately, p6l has outstripped p6i in volume. While this used to be the norm, it has become a rare occurrence. Strange. Anyway, this summary would be brought to you by cookies, but I…
All~ Welcome to yet another summary in which I will undoubtedly confuse two homophones - probably more than a few this week as I am a little tired. But perhaps the alien on my window or the vampire on…
All~ Welcome to another double feature summary. Sadly, this one was delayed because of an argument that I was/am having with my connection. Fortunately, a generous neighbor has allowed me to use his connection for the time being. So,…
Welcome to yet another Perl Summary brought to you by music and pizza (although the pizza is late in arriving). Like many summaries before it, we start with an attempt at non sequitur and Perl 6 Language. Perl 6 Language…
Welcome to another Perl 6 summary. This summary explores such thrilling issues as multi-dimensional slices of Chinese food. After all, the amount of sauce any piece of Chinese food can absorb is proportional to its surface area, which is a…
All~ Welcome to a New Year of Perl 6 Summaries. I have been doing biweekly summaries over the holiday season, but I plan on returning to weekly ones now. Hopefully “World of Warcraft” won’t prevent me, we shall see. But…
All~ The observant among you might notice that I missed last week’s summary. With the hubbub and confusion of the holidays, I blame ninjas, in particular Ryu Hyabusa. Given that Christmas is next weekend and New Years is the…
It’s been almost nine years since the first release of mod_perl, and it remains a very powerful tool for writing web applications and extending the capabilities of the Apache web server. However, lurking around the corner is Perl 6,…
All~ Last week I asked for help identifying the source of a quotation. One friendly soul suggested Alan J. Perlis, but could not find an actual attribution. It did lead me to find a very applicable (and in my…
All~ Welcome to yet another summary. Although Aliya is present for this summary, I think the unnamed gecko with its tongue out will be the one who is helping to bring it to you, aided of course by Nicola…
All~ Welcome to yet another Monday summary. This would have been a Sunday summary, but Avernum (from Spiderweb Software) forcibly prevented it. As usual, we will start out with Perl 6 Language. Perl 6 Language Modules and Exports Aaron Sherman…
Welcome to yet another summary, brought to you (once again) with the aid of the musical stylings of Dar Williams and Soul Coughing and a small, stuffed elephant name Aliya. And, without further ado, I give you Perl 6…
Perl 6 Summary for 2004-10-18 through 2004-10-23 Last week, I received a request to summarize perl6-language before internals. Frankly, it seems like a reasonable idea. Perl6-internals has always been first as long as I can remember. So perhaps, it is…
Perl 6 Summary for 2004-10-01 through 2004-10-17 All~ Welcome to my first summary. Since I am relatively new at this game, I will just steal Piers’ approach and start with Perl6 internals. But before that let me warn you that…
The Perl 6 Summary for the week ending 2004-09-24 This is my last summary before I start my teaching practice. Hopefully I’ve things set up so writing the summary isn’t going to interfere with that, and vice versa. This week…
Another week, another summary, and I’m running late. So: This week in perl6-compiler The current state of the compiler Discussion of the current state of the nascent perl 6 compiler and how best to contribute to its development even…
This week on perl6-compiler Yes you read that right; development of the Perl 6 compiler now has its own mailing list. Hopefully, in the coming weeks, the current perl6-internals list will get renamed parrot-internals to reflect that split. As I…
Another week, a free weekend, and still I haven’t started writing the summary until Monday. Still, I don’t actually start at college ‘til next week, so that’s all right then. We start with perl6-internals. Compile op with return values…
The Perl 6 Summary for the fortnight ending 2004-08-20 Harrumph. Note to self; never miss a week when you could actually have written the summary. I lulled myself into a false sense of security with the quiet week for…
Note: All comments in square brackets are X screensavers that I ran for my slides. If you want to play along at home, start up xscreensaver-demo and click on the screensaver named. By the way, for any screensaver that…
