Turn your iPad into a mifi

Note: I do not recommend doing this. There are easier ways. But still, an awesome hack.

The Rules of a Gentleman (source)

Some of these are obsolete, in my opinion (who wears a watch these days?) But others are really profound. Worth adding to your RSS reader.

Pure CSS Fail Whale (source)

Really impressive. When will we see pure CSS animated ads start appearing?

Mooseish DBIC Schemas (source)

Longing for a more Mooseish DBIx::Class? Eventually there will be MooseX::DBIC, but if you need something while you’re waiting, you could check out MooseX::DBIC::AddColumn which lets you do Moose-like column definitions in your Result classes.

Mojolicious GSOC blog (source)

I’m mentoring a Google Summer of Code project to improve the Mojolicious test suite this year, and my student has just set up a blog to journal his progress. Check it out, you might even learn something.

DBIx-Class about to switch to git

12:27 <ribasushi> a call to all git-heads

12:28 <ribasushi> recently haarg did a seemingly perfect conversion of dbic from svn to git (a non-trivial feat)

12:28 <ribasushi> I am calling for people who actually know git to randomly poke at the new history and notufy me of whatever problems they see

12:28 <ribasushi> http://github.com/haarg/DBIx-Class

12:29 <ribasushi> (also you can ascertain the quality of the conversion, and potentially draft haarg to do a catalyst conversion as well – it took him a couple of freaking hours to do dbic)

12:32 <marcus> awesome

12:32 <marcus> haarg++

12:33 <marcus> it looks freaking good

12:33 <ribasushi> marcus: please spread the word to get more eyeballs on this, if nothing pops up in the next day and a half we’ll be  switching dbic over

Consider this me having spread the word to you ;-)

Last chance to submit a talk for NPW 2010 (source)

Thinking about submitting a talk for NPW 2010 in Reykjavik? The deadline for the Call for Paper is tomorrow, 29th of march, so you’d better hurry up and get that submission in there. I’ve submitted a talk, and am really looking forward to visit iceland. I’ve never been, but from the photos I’ve seen it seems like a beautyful place.

MojaMoja (source)

Yet another Perl MVC micro-framework with a name that will be confused with my wiki software. From the Author’s description:

(PoC)yet another sinatra-ish framework built on CPAN module.

Rather than ‘shaggadelic’ or ‘dance’, this one starts the app with ‘zigorou’. I can’t see it catching on.

How to build a offine HTML5 iphone app (source)

I need to look into this for the iusethis iPhone application. The launch time is one thing that annoys me with that app now, and this could be a good way to sort that out.
