As modifying the user id is not supported on use.perl, I decided to move to a new account : http://use.perl.org/~ecocode. I won't post with the alias 'eco' anymore ! eco 2009-04-13T11:42:20+00:00 journal http://use.perl.org/~eco/journal/38034?from=rss I took over the maintainers job of Finance::Quote somewhere in September 2008. First job was to solve major bugs which made the module far less usable. Two versions where released since my nomination. Those releases seem to have pushed a new live into the module: The mailing list is active and new submodules are submitted and added to the project. <br> <br> I'm glad the community has been very reactive to the new releases. Seems that the 'release early, release often' principle is very appreciated. eco 2008-12-05T23:25:38+00:00 modules http://use.perl.org/~eco/journal/34961?from=rss <p>Pecha Kucha was in Brussels on 20th November 2007, containing 10 presentations of 20 slides projected for exactly 20 seconds each. ecocode.net was in charge of this technical part.

I like them so much I can't accept any (even the most useful) annotation in it. I hate people who mistreat books by folding pages or messing coffee on them by inadvertency.

As a mac-addicted, I rushed to Regent Street to visit the Apple Store. Wow ! The design of the glazen stairs is really great. Besides that I experienced the 30" displays of Apple for the first time. Impressive. The Mac Pro (full of Ram) runs like devil with that hudge screen !<br>The return trip was a bit hatchy yesterday night. It was raining a lot and our train was cancelled. Probably due to a lack of passengers ?<br>The return trip from London back to Brussels took us about 6 hours.</p> eco 2006-10-23T06:06:09+00:00 journal http://use.perl.org/~eco/journal/31199?from=rss <p>hi<br>We started vlaanderen.pm meeting last month !
