Today we needed to install Math::Pari on an Opteron (x86_64) based Debian box at the office. I’m documenting here the trials and tribulations we had to go through to get it to work:
Downloaded latest Math::Pari tarball from CPAN
Downloaded pari version 2.1.7 tarball
Untar Math::Pari
cd into Math::Pari and run “perl Makefile.PL pari_tgz=/path/to/pari-2.1.7.tgz”
Ignore all the stupid messages
run [...]
One of the more entertaining part of working in e-commerce is dealing with PCI compliance. I say interesting because the standard is a mix of good things and inane things. Regardless, it’s required. One of the sections deals with authentication and authorization. We’ve traditionally done that sort of business internally, but [...]
I work for magazines.com and we are looking to add to our team!
We’re a Perl shop, located in Franklin, Tennessee. We sell magazine subscriptions online. This year we’ve got a lot to do and I’m looking to add some developers to our ranks. I’m not sure how many yet, but I can [...]
We’ve used NetApp hardware for our NAS needs for the last few years. My boss bought two a few years ago and they’ve been rock solid. They have gotten a little long in the tooth and our capacity needs have grown, so we decided that this was the year to upgrade.

The linked description basically sums it all up, but I’ll divulge a little more. We are looking for a mid-to-junior person: anywhere in that range. While being a Perl junkie would be cool, we are open to all types of experience. [...]
Anyone who reads my blog for content knows that one of the few things I get fired up about is DRM. Since music is so important to me it makes sense that I would feel strongly about my rights in that arena. Today Steve Jobs, the guy in the driver’s seat of the [...]
Am I the only person who thinks it’s dumb for me to have a hard drive in my car, in my stereo, in my computer, in my console and in my DAP?
My computer already syncs with my DAP, as that’s where I download my music. My stereo is hooked to a Roku Soundbridge and [...]
Apple’s displays are some of the most lusted after items in all of geekdom. Very few people are probably willing to pay the premium to have them but no one denies their beauty.
Today Mike commented how he loved his busted third LCD (with water damage) that he dedicates to viewing his Apache logs [...]
Despite my lack of enthusiam for my own corner of the intarweb I still read many, many feeds. A small blurb surfaced a few weeks back that irked me and that I wanted to say something about. I forget where I read it, but Tim Bray contributed to a snazzy little idea that [...]
BLOGZOT 2.0 on MacZOT.com is a push by MacZot to give away 3,000 copies of SubEthaEdit from CodingMonkeys. If this works out (like the one for AppZapper did) MacZOT and TheCodingMonkeys will award $105,000 in Mac software.
MacZot occasionally pops up in my aggregator with some good deals. I think it’s a great way [...]
