The black hole…
I don’t write here for some time. It’s been a busy year. But a recent event makes me feel like it is an excellent time to write a little, about the architecture I created behind the Dicionário da Língua Portuguesa [Portuguese Language Dictionary] from Academia das Ciências de Lisboa [Lisbon’s Science Academy]. The story of […]
(cross posted from blogs.perl.org) I am planning on a new project, and a friend suggested me to look to Arango, as an alternative do Mongo, specially because it includes a graphs query language integrated. As I am not really used to Mongo at all, decided to give it a try. Unfortunately I did not find […]
This February my Pull Request assignment on the CPAN Pull Request Challenge was Ovid’s Module, MooseX::Role::Strict. For me this was a big problem. First because it is about Moose (which I do not use) and then because it is about the Meta-Moose, the way Moose itself behaves. The idea of the module is to allow […]
Cross Posted from my Perl Blogs blog. So, yeah, to make me more active in the Perl community I decided to join the Pull Request Challenge. I have a quite big number of modules to maintain, but sometimes it is good to look to some other people code to learn something. My attribution for January […]
Today I waste all my afternoon trying to solve a problem with Perl versions and DotCloud. I say I wasted the afternoon because I could not solve the issue during the afternoon, only in the beginning of the night. Enough complain, and let me explain what was going on. Yes, this post is a little […]
First, a relevant disclaimer: I use Windows mostly for two purposes, test my Perl modules under a Windows environment, and printing some stuff as my Mac sometimes can’t find some Windows printers in the network. This said, my Windows runs in a virtual machine, and I install these tools right after installing Windows. Browser The […]
(re-post from blogs.perl.org) For some time now, I am a Dancer contributor. It all started in the last Christmas (everything in the Perl community start or end at Christmas time), with Dancer Advent Calendar. Getting a little behind… I tried to learn to use Catalyst some time ago, reading a Packt Publishing book and found […]
I bought the Modern Perl book by chromatic. The title is inspiring. There is a lot of people writing Perl code as they were writing years ago. Although Perl still support those syntax and lack of strictness, there is a new trend on Perl code, and actual and future Perl developers should start learning it. […]
Probably this is a stupid rant/question. If so, please clarify me. I can live without the insults. Really :) OK, on to the relevant stuff. Twitter has a new OAuth authentication mechanism. To write an application able to post on twitter your application need to be registered and have a consumer key. That key is […]
I bought this book during YAPC::EU::2010, in Pisa. At that moment I just opened the book a little, and found the index interesting. It was a book being auctioned, and therefore my investment was not only thinking in the book contents and their usefulness, but also in the help to the conference organizers. I was […]
