Hrm. Getting HTTP 503 from

http://api.rubygems.org

when trying to install jekyll.

There we go. Just had to run the command five or six times.

Install perlbrew, perl 5.20, cpanm, modules. Get weird errors on some. Realize I forgot perlbrew switch 5.20.0. Get coffee. Start over.

Woke up with an urge to contribute to the FOSS community in some way.

A damp towel on my head and a quick nap should fix that.

.@WallOfFire Even though I shift from the value of @_, I will fear no eval, for Perl is with me. Its strict and its DWIM they comfort me.

My ego is trying to figure out a way to fit “nagging” into the definition of “contributing to open source.”

Since mrs is at work and I have no pressing obligations: watching “Dredd” and messing with Perl stuff.

Success. Fresh checkout of Vim linked to Perl 5.20, with Vim::X working.

Now what?

At Pike Place Market, being a little creeped out by tourists taking flash photos of every counter, cubby, and booth.

I don’t know about #RemoveALetterRuinABand, but I’m going to start saying we got twerking from Kraftwerk.

I watched “Dredd” today and now we’re going to watch the original “Robocop” and basically I <3 my wife.

I just remembered the ultra-violence in Robocop. It’s actually a good movie and had aged well through nearly thirty years.

Funny thing about 1987 Robocop in 2014: bankrupt Detroit? Yep. CRT displays? Okay. Career executives and non-militarized police? How quaint.
