I really love using vCards and profiles pictures from Xing
I “always” also “copy” them for my Google Mail address book, which gets synced with my iPhone’s address book. This really makes my life so much easier – recognising resp. remembering people by their faces is so much easier. Update / 2010-06-16: I forgot to mention, that I always use Xing’s vCards for new contacts…

perl events on a public and shared calendar
Gábor Szabó is my hero! I came across the TPF’s Perl 5 Wiki entry on events, suggested to him and Renée Bäcker to also maintain that calendar on a public and shared calendar, and Gabór just pointed me to that Google calendar (Google Calendar ID: ctbpksh6sva6r1kt1vqvh1l6qs@group.calendar.google.com) that had already gotten set up. Hey guys, your…

option and configuration processing
http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2007/07/12/options-and-configuration.html Once again I came across this very nice and certainly very helpful article on O’Reilly’s perl.com. I personally really have been loving the Art of Command Line Processing for a very, very long time. During one of my last projects (it was actually mainly using p*th*n as programming language because of some rather weird…

I was cleaning up my Google bookmarks, came across Maypole, tried to look it up, and came across a comparison of web application frameworks on en.wikipedia.org, that includes the perl approaches.

Followed this wiki article. The list of “files attached” is truely broken, but the official installation guide helps.

installing scrubyt from Github on openSUSE-11.2
Followed this blog article. Had to install rpm libxml2-devel, not just libxml2. Had to install rpm libxslt-devel, not just libxslt.

set an ACL on /var/run and locked myself out a little
I wanted to run a script of mine with output in /var/log and its PID captured in a file in /var/run. I must have gotten something wrong with the ACL I set on them, as GDM did not succeed starting my next session afterwords. Took me a little to find out, how that came, but…

prepped up my 1st contribution to CPAN
Now I am waiting for my PAUSE ID on CPAN. My first script to contribute is named xls-tar.pl, a utility, that tries to handle XLS files a little like TAR treats its archives. Update / 2010-06-13 14:00: Got my account on PAUSE resp. CPAN acknowledged (“johayek“), so my home directory there is http://search.cpan.org/~johayek/. Uploaded xls-tar.tar,…
