new coen bros film!

Just got back from a free preview showing (thanks wired!) of the new Coen Bros. flick Intolerable Cruelty. Short review: funny. Very, Very Funny. Clooney is slick, Catherine Zeta Jones plays a pretty gold digger. Eh. She fits the roll, so she is fine. Cedric the entertainer has a funny catch phrase.
Joel and Ethan are talented guys. My DVD shelf has many of their films. Despite my detest for Catherine Zeta-Jones, i had to see this movie.

Blogging Talk (take two!)

I will be giving my Perl Blogging Techniques talk again this coming Tuesday, October 14th @ the Uniforum PerlSIG (special interest group).

Check the Uniforum site for details and directions.

CPAN contributions

Just finished up some changes to HTTP::Recorder that I submitted to the author. Hopefully those should be rolled in to the next release.
The changes are:
1) Links are properly generated with the right index (ie, the 3rd link called "Download."
2) added checks so that only responses of type text/* are modified by the script (this lets images and other binary files come through OK).
3) Fixed a small problem where incorrect Content-Length headers would be sent due to the modifications the script makes to log everything
4) Added some space between requests in the log file and added a comment function.

CPAN ID

I am now an officially registered Perl CPAN developer. I have some web testing modules, some blogging modules and some other random stuff in mind (like contributing to the excellent HTTP::Recorder).

Hopefully my CPAN profile page will look a little more exciting soon(tm). ;)
