O’Reilly Parody Book Generator

I have utmost respect for O’Reilly Media.   They’ve published numerous technology books, aggregate and shared plenty of human knowledge, and saved years in productivity and tonnes in pulled out hair.

But no matter how many books they will publish, there’s always the need for more.  Well, know that need is at least partially solved.  Not in the form of whole books, but at least in book covers.  With the help of the this parody book generator you too can become an author of whatever was that you wanted to share with the world.

Procrastination

Open Source software is so reassuring …

There’s nothing like working on a problem for a few days and getting to the reassuring code snippet like this:

sub PSGIApp {
    my $self = shift;

    # XXX: this is fucked
    require HTML::Mason::CGIHandler;
    require HTML::Mason::PSGIHandler::Streamy;
    my $h = RT::Interface::Web::Handler::NewHandler('HTML::Mason::PSGIHandler::Streamy');

    $self->InitSessionDir;

    my $mason = sub {
        my $env = shift;

        # mod_fastcgi starts with an empty %ENV, but provides it on each
        # request.  Pick it up and cache it during the first request.
        $ENV{PATH} //= $env->{PATH};

        # HTML::Mason::Utils::cgi_request_args uses $ENV{QUERY_STRING} to
        # determine if to call url_param or not
        # (see comments in HTML::Mason::Utils::cgi_request_args)
        $ENV{QUERY_STRING} = $env->{QUERY_STRING};

The first comment is misleading. It throws you off. Almost make you close the file and go somewhere else. But that’s just a little frustration from the last few days. The solution to my problem is here too… And that’s when the warm, cozy feeling I have for the Open Source Software kicks in.

P.S.: both the problem and the solution will be posted separately.

 

Every Bootstrap Website Ever

bootstrap

Every Bootstrap Website Ever – a hilarious outcry (I’m guessing, of a designer) about the similarity of the websites based on Twitter Bootstrap.  I get the joke. It’s funny.  But I still think that Bootstrap is the best thing since sliced bread.  It saves lives. :)
