Interview With Larry Wall About Perl 6
mholve wrote to us about an interview with Larry Wall [?] regarding Perl 6. Wall is, always, interesting to read. Warning - the text bit is short, most of it is video. -
From The Floor At Defcon 8
It appears that ZDtv is doing some fairly major co verage of Defcon. They've got the works - some text reporting, as well as streaming video from the floor and speakers, from what I can see. It's not being there, but heck, you're at least one less degree separated. -
ABC Ads Target Answering Machines?
Nerftoe writes "ZDTV an article about automated phone calls to promote its Friday lineup of shows. The odd thing is, ABC doesn't want to talk to humans. They just want to leave their message on your answering machine. What if I real person answers the phone, you ask? That's right, the automated system simply hangs up." I'm not in one of the markets that is doing this, but I have a personal policy of boycotting any business that tele-solicits me. (course the only show on ABC I actually watch is Who's Line is it Anyway, but since Comedy Central airs the much funnier sans-drew English version several times a day anyway, I don't consider that a huge loss either).
