I had a little problems with update my Livejournal last week. So, I’ve found an explanation what happened with LJ: Power-loss post-mortem written by Brad Fitzpatrick. It’s really difficult to recover so complicated system.

All of you know that Elvis Presley was the rock-n-roll king. But do you know that Elvis had many hobbies and one of them was called ‘Cadillac’! Here you can see all Elvis’s Cadillacs in chronological order. Those cars are worthy of the king, aren’t they?

Recently I’ve stumbled across the article “The elegance of JAPH”. It discovers secrets of creation JAPH – “Just another Perl hacker”. Sure, sometimes using of JAPH proncipes indicates the level of Perl programmer and makes a code more efficient . But in other hand, it makes a code a difficult for understanding. So, I think it’s a good idea to split fun stuff and development.
Also, you can find cool examples of JAPH in the personal page of Abigail, Perl Monks and CPAN.

Another nice article about Perl: Perl One Liners. It shows how to effective use Perl in command line. Sure, the better way is to use Shell for that but it’s more habitual to type ‘Perl -e “…”‘ for real Perl Monks 🙂
