Hi all, so lately I like many of us in tech have been considering the state of the internet, the web and where it is heading. To paraphrase Andre Staltz @ Hack\Talks in Helsinki last year… “the internet is firetrucked” ( https://youtu.be/qZDJ1z0apVk?t=7787 ). In short, the issue is that Facebook and Google […]
On Saturday 25 November 2017 the London Perl Workshop was held at the University of Westminster and to summarise… it was great! Working in the same office as one of the organisers, I know how much effort went into the day. The new organising team of Katherine, Lee, Neil, Pete […]
Hi all, As some will be aware I am running a workshop on November 25th at the London Perl Workshop ( #lpw2017 ) on the Perl6/6lang web framework Bailador. Bailador is a 6lang/Perl6 equivalent to the Perl5 Dancer framework. Bailador is a route based web framework. I have been building […]
Recently, I have started developing a Bailador application. This is the Dancer equivalent in Perl6 that seems to have the majority mindshare. I have been motivated by the Perl6 talks at the recent Perl Conference in Amsterdam to try my hand at the latest version of the perl programming language. […]
August 2017 and I am sitting in Amsterdam after the three day “Perl Conference in Amsterdam“, or YAPC::EU. As a full-time Perl developer I am very pleased to say that I am encouraged by my boss to attend this conference and to participate in the amazing Perl Community. This year […]
As I wrote about back in January ( https://lancewicks.com/2017/02/03/cpan-pull-request-challenge-year-3/ ), I am participating in the CPAN Pull Request Challenge again this year. As well as my own assignments, I have been working with my team to complete requests with them, see over on our Tech Blog. To date I have […]
Recently I have been revisiting my abandoned or neglected projects, including my VWJL (Virtual World Judo League) project, where the last commit seems to have been from 2004 and 2003. The VWJL was a grand rewrite of another Judo simulation game I had run on my website. And like all […]
Hi all, so I thought I’d write a post on how I consume media. By which I mean news, tech, text, video, audio etc. I consume a lot of content, much of which is technical, in this post I wanted to express how I share how I keep up to […]
January 2017 marked the start of the third year of the Perl CPAN Pull Request Challenge, it is also my third year of participation. This year I have managed to rope in my work colleagues in my $dayjob, where I am fortunate enough to work in a team for Perl […]
At this time of year I try and avoid the whole new years resolution, get fit, do more trap. What I do do is clean up after the previous year and that normally informs what I want to achieve in the new year. So that is what I am currently […]
