Craft Section

Monday January 04, 2010

I just added a craft section to sort through my finished knitting and other non-tech projects. Nothing major, but it's nice to show that I do more than code.

Parrot Updates

Wednesday December 16, 2009

Parrot 1.9 was released yesterday, which meant scrubbing through the Parrot Babysteps to make sure they still work as expected. It also seems like a good time to push the newest Babystep, looking at Test::More in Parrot. That step was produced with a lot of help from Jonathan "Duke" Leto. There will be a bonus step up soon which describes how to use his Tapir test harness on UNIX-based platforms.

General Updates and NQP

Wednesday December 09, 2009

I was laid off last week, which is no fun. On the other hand, it gives me a little time to work on the site. On the other other hand, I'm still doing a quick contract at Smith and Tinker so I don't have a lot of time. Still, there was enough time to work together with Jonathan "Duke" Leto in creating a new Parrot Babystep. We'll push it to the site next week, after a little polishing.

Meanwhile, here's a quick blurb about NQP. It's not much, but it does have an example. That sets it apart from most of my quick blurbs.

Oops

I accidentally posted a draft of a Parrot Babystep that wasn't ready yet. Sorry if it showed up in your RSS feed. I've removed it.

Updated Parrot Babysteps

Monday November 23, 2009

The Parrot folks make a release every month, which means I always need to be on my guard that the Parrot Babysteps provide current details for installation. I've gone through the tutorials to make sure that they're valid for 1.8.
