Mark Fowler has never been the same since he was elected leader of the London Perl Mongers. The strain manifests itself mainly in releasing various [cpan.org] modules [cpan.org] to CPAN, giving talks [2shortplanks.com], and use of the Trelane nick on #london.pm for endless procrastination. Doctors are still seeking a cure.

BCS Followup

[ #17792 ]

Darn, I broke my new year's resolution and didn't write in this as often as I need to. I need a script to upload the text file to use.perl.org. There are a lots of modules on CPAN. I should work out which to use.

Yesterday acme, davorg and myself went to judge the BCS programming competition. We took our own team along who came a wonderful seventh out of eight teams. I would have been more disappointed but they weren't that far behind the others (remember, I got to see everyone's answers as they came in,) and they had a much smaller team than the others (only two members compared to four to five.) This put them at a significant disadvantage as they couldn't have people thinking about the other problems while they were working on one.

Next year I hope Perl will do a lot better; With more notice so that we can arrange a bigger team I think we could clear up.

I think they were seventh out of nine.

  No, remember one of the teams didn't turn up on the day due to illness (unfortunatly, that was the other Perl team that had registered) so there were only eight teams.

    There were teas A - J (that's 10) and team D failed to turn up (so that's 9).

      I stand corrected (well, I sit at my laptop corrected anyhow.) So Perl did better than I thought. Anyway, next year we're entering a bigger team.

        So Perl is 7 of 9? That seems appropriate. :-)

Maybe this is stating the obvious, but "WWW::UsePerl::Journal" is a darn nice solution. You can write a one or two line script to upload journal entries with that.
