| 3. |  | God-like Perl powers: Calling subroutines or object methods by name without circumventing strict refs  - Captured: 16-2-2005 7:02:08
This is amazing. You can run a Perl subroutine or object method using a symbolic name (aka, a string), without getting stopped by strict and warnings. It's really useful too.
First let's start with:
Yes, I need to do this
Yes, it's hyper-cool
Yes, the reason I'm using this is to create a bastard step-son of AUTOLOAD
Yes, I like to avoid unnecessary typing
Yes, if you think AUTOLOAD is evil then this is evil too (and conversely, it's only as evil as AUTOLOAD so if you're okay with one y...

| 4. | | Doomed snowmobiling trip - Captured: 21-2-2005 16:47:45
I
love snowmobiling. I used to be a snowmobile safety instructor actually, but that
fell by the wayside when I moved to a city and got a real job - both of which tend
to put a serious crimp in that sort of activity...
But yesterday we had
this beautiful snowfall and I decided to take the kids snowmobiling at my parent's
house. They live about 2.5 hours from us, so it is a bit of a haul (especially on
sloppy roads) but I though...

Here's a very
astute article that
highlights the reason Linux is virtually doomed to the same fate as Unix.
Years ago, before
Microsoft was a serious company and I was still working on VAXen it was clear that
Unix was in trouble. We all called it "Unixification" - the reality that each Unix
vendor had to differentiate and to differentiate they had to vary from the "standard"
and as they varied from the standard they created tiny ...

Interest in ITIL from $1 billion-plus companies is spreading like wildfire. At the heart of ITIL lies the configuration management database (CMDB). However, it is unrealistic to expect the feasibility of a centralized CMDB for larger corporations anytime soon. Vendor promises along those lines are essentially misguided and doomed to failure. Forrester believes that the only sensible way to implement CMDB architectures is to use a federated approach, enabling companies to construct different view...

The saying "they just don't make them like they used to" may be more than just pure nostalgia. First brought up in the 1970s, declining product quality is back on the radar as a concern for American society. Since the 1990s, there has been a suggestive trend of declining quality in consumer products. Has our society become too disposable? Products now improve so quickly, you can frequently get a newer, more feature-laden product for less than it would cost to repair the old one. The premium...

Amber Frey's new book, Witness: For the Prosecution of Scott Peterson looks to be headed for bestsellerdom. The book, which was released this week, details Amber's doomed relationship with convicted murderer Scott Peterson. Now, CBS has bought the rights to make a TV movie -- since clearly there has not been enough publicity about this tragedy. We won't be setting our Tivo, that's for sure.

One of the most frequently asked questions from all beginners who start out to get fit boils down to one principle:
Realistic Expectations
You must have realistic expectations of yourself and your goals. If you
want to look like Arnold by the end of 1 year and have bet your friends
and family, then you are doomed to fail.
Somebody once said that people overestimate what they can achieve in one year and underestimate what they can achieve in five years.

Terresterial radio is doomed. Absolutely doomed. At least it is if you listen to certain Canadian message boards and some media soothsayers. I say hogwash. Radio is not going to die. It may go through changes, maybe even a revolution. It???s been there before. Change is what radio does best. The medium simply reinvents itself when required.

In a recent blog entry I wrote how, if the music industry continues to demonstrate its historical recalcitrance to adapt in the face of unstoppable technological novelty, specifically with regard to digital media, it is doomed. This is especially true when these technological novelties occur with insistent regularity, are entirely unstoppable, and they lead to exponential increases in the ease and pace at which media can be digitised and distributed.

First, it asserts a Monistic Pantheism, that All is One and All is God. This leads to a God who is impersonal, unknowing, and unknowable. The Indian philosopher, Shankara (8th century), described this worldview as a seamless garment where absolutely everything is Brahman (God). The material universe may appear to exist but actually is only Maya (illusion).
The problem is that nobody can live as if such were the case. The material universe has a way of making its presence known in very "concret...

Allow me to make a confession that may surprise you. I've been a Mac fan my entire life. Back in 1987, when my house burned down after a Christmas tree mishap I'd rather not detail at the moment, I needed to replace my crispy Commodore 64 set up with a more modern system. I originally wanted an Amiga, but alas, the local Commodore dealer didn't offer financing. The local Apple dealer did, however, and after figuring out how much I wanted to spend (an exorbitant amount even by today's standards),...
