Mathieu Jobin's Life and Thoughts

I just upgraded my blog to the latest typosphere release. no issue at all. work perfectly. please tell me if you encounter any issue or slow down/speed up

(click read more to view list of packages) posted as a comments because it took too much space ;)

Here is an idea. Canada needs to invest a whole wack of money for his sovereignty over the Arctic. Why not build a prison over there where long-sentenced criminals would do unpaid work for their country.

Perl keeps impressing me (negatively) with weird stuff such as implicit context and so on....

but that one is really out of the ordinary...

prompt~/ perl 
print "-------\n\n";
my $x = 'hostname1.foo.net';
$x->{'datacenter'} ||= '__';
use Data::Dumper; 
print Dumper $x;
print "x".$x->{'datacenter'}."x\n";
my $y = 'hostname1.foo.neT';
print "y".$y->{'datacenter'}."y\n";
my $z = 'hostname1.foo.net';
print "z".$z->{'datacenter'}."z\n";
-------

$VAR1 = 'hostname1.foo.net';
x__x
yy
z__z
prompt~/ 

first, I thought calling ->{} on a scalar/string would crash. to my surprise, my program passed. so I wrote this test only to learning something even crazier about perl. couldn't this be a security issue?

After several server "hick ups" my blog is now back online ! Well, it never got offline, but dreamhost is not so generous on RAM and my blog was asking for more and more, thus I had to move it. I still think dreamhost is a nice place for hosting your stuff but I am sure you know that, at some point, you might need something more dedicated to your business... So my blog is now running on my own server, I also upgraded it to the latest typo (from 4.0.3 to 5.4.1) and it feels good to be able to type here again without fearing crashes....

well, I must admit, it rarely pass 150MB in normal circumstance... I just thought it would be fun to push it further up. I could have waited more but I was tired. As funny as it may sound, my 2GB ram WinXP system did not suffer too much from it. Eventually I should try to max up the ram entirely see what would happen.

De plus en plus de personne sont soit bilingue ou trilingue. Ca serait cool si un jeu télévisé permetterait à ces talents de s'affronter en public.

Un participant trilingue qui parlerait, par example, les langues A, B et C se présenterais au jeu télévisé dans le but de gagner une certain sommes d'argent. Le programme se devrais de trouver une personne qui parle la langue A, une autre qui parle la langue B, et ainsi de suite.

Le participant devrait entretenir une conversation avec chacun d'entre eux au même moment sans distraction jusqu'a ce qu'une erreur se produise. Au quel moment il serait maintenant le tour du participant prochain. La meilleur performance gagne.

J'en ai deja parler au par avant. La salle de toilette (a ne pas confondre avec la salle de bain), toujours place au nord, elle est consider la piece la plus sale et degueulasse. ceci dit, a chaque fois que j'y vais ca sent toujours etonnament bon et reste extremement propre. serieusement, jai jamais sentie de truc pareil au paravant.
