Artima Perl BuzzA community of bloggers who post primarily about Perl.What I Learned This Week- (Found July 8, 2008 ) Oops. A bit late with this one. BPM 37093 is a white dwarf that, as it has cooled, has turned into a diamond. Our sun will do the same in about 5 billion years, as a hard crystalline core forms in it&8217;s center. Planting 300,000 new trees and allowing them a full life would offset the carbon dioxide emissions of one 500-megawatt coal-fired...http://www.artima.com/forums/flat.jsp?forum=166&thread=223559 Ayalike: Content Management using Catalyst- (Found July 8, 2008 ) I&8217;ve been hacking away for the last week or so on a content management system (henceforth CMS). We are going to need a CMS for some future $work projects and I&8217;m generally unhappy with all that I&8217;ve reviewed.

Unfortunately the documentation is a little thin, so I&8217;ll take this opportunity to both inform the world and the module of it&8217;s purpose. Osgood is a passive, persistent, stateless event repository.

My gig at magazines.com began as a member of a two person team. Luck would have it that we were very compatible office mates as we shared similar interests, hours and working habits. Even our music taste was similar. We moved from a shared cube to a conference room table to an eventual custom 3 man...http://www.artima.com/forums/flat.jsp?forum=166&thread=218001 |
