I’ve been doing a lot of reading for the last 6 months. It all started when I switched jobs last year. I was working with a lot of smart guys who knew (and still know) significantly more than I do about practically everything with regards to programming languages.
My first adventure was with Paul [...]
I just returned from the Orlando Perl Workshop. The conference was on the smallish side but I enjoyed the day of talks. My two went well and I got to spend some time with friends that I’d either never physically met or that I hadn’t seen in quite a while.
The highlight of the [...]
If you are reading this then welcome to my new host. I’ve been meaning to move to my Linode for a year. I took the time to do it today. Yay!
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 [...]
Jackson tagged me with a “7 things about yourself” meme. I made the mistake of scanning feeds right before bed and now I feel compelled to satisfy my obligation before bed, so here goes.
I’m a closet designer and typography nut. I spent 2 hours “hacking” tonight on Fibonacci sequences, leading and rhythmic padding. [...]
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.
Around the time [...]

While I’m at it, if you are a LAMP System Administrator in Nashville (or nearby) and are [...]
I’ve been hacking on a few projects lately that I finally got wrapped up enough that I could up them to the CPAN. I’ll cover each one.
Motivation
Before I cover the modules, I’d like to explain why I made them. Some of this functionality existed in modules on the CPAN, but it was either [...]
Today was my last day at magazines.com. I started there 4 years ago as a Senior Developer and today I left my role of Development Manager to begin a new gig at Infinity Interactive. I’m pretty sure that I’ll write more about this after I get started tomorrow.
I’ve been hacking on Clicker a [...]
Yesterday I released Osgood::Client and today, after realizing I had botched the upload, Osgood::Server. Unfortunately the documentation is a little thin, so I’ll take this opportunity to both inform the world and the module of it’s purpose.
