So, welcome. This is where I’ll be writing about my Perl 6 hacking now, instead of on my use.perl.org journal. I very much enjoyed using WordPress when we did the Perl 6 advent calendar, and figure that if I have something I like using, then I’m likely to enjoy blogging more and thus do more of it. So, I made the leap.
Having the blog here also gives me a few more possibilities. I’ll probably add some various other pages here at some point soon (e.g. listing interesting papers I read in the course of doing Perl 6 implementation work). Ooh, and I can even post exciting images. Like this one of my desk.
Well, it’s not like that every day. :-) Anyways, with this meta-post over, I’ll try and have something actually interesting up here in a little while.

Are the beers related to the regex in any way? :)
You have to consume that many beers to think writing a regex like that is a good idea.
w00t, love the new blog (esp the interesting papers section). Will read with gusto :)
If you could switch your feed to full-text rather than abridged, that’d be very much appreciated.
Aristotle: I’d love to, but some initial twiddling with the settings seems to do…nothing. :/ I’ll have a further look later on.
Any success yet?
I think so; in the settings it offers:
For each article in a feed, show
Full text
Summary
And I have Full Text selected. Planet Perl Six picked up the entire posts from the feed too, and viewing the source for https://6guts.wordpress.com/feed/ shows the whole posts in the XML too. So, looks like success.
Thanks,
Jonathan
What about the blogs.perl.org platform? Have you tried it before WordPress? I’m curious as I plan to open my own Perl blog.
I’ve used MT before, which blogs.perl.org uses, and just happen to prefer WordPress. The ability to have pages appealed to me for what I wanted to do with this blog too.
It’s not that there’s anything really wrong with blogs.perl.org – in fact, there’s a lot right with it, including it’s nice looks and that it brings a lot of Perl community blogs together. It mostly just came down to personal preference. :-)
so… no Februaries in the sixties?
i suppose it’s true: i don’t recall anything that happened for certain in a sixties February. on the other hand, i don’t recall the Februaries not happening…
I can’t believe you’ve actually gone and worked out what it does! :-) Nice bug find, too. I tend to use this as an example of a problem that should not be solved with regexes – it goes without saying that I don’t have this regex in production anywhere. ;-)
In other news, I suspect you of having too much time on your hands. :-P
