The moral is that Perl is a great language for implementing haiku
… but Python is rather better at implementing functional specs.
Via Slashdot,
A comment
about Python vs. Perl
A rather good comment about one of the reasons I dislike Perl. I also
dislike Python (significant whitespace?) but if I had to choose between the
two, I would probably use Python.

sounds interesting, a web server that separates content, presentation and
logic, which is what I'm trying to do. But at this time, the website seems
to be down. Or rather, DNS is reporting back an error.
Maybe I'll get back to this some other time. Even if it is written in Perl.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
