Today it's 183 days - more than half a year - since I started blogging, spurred on by mst's lightning talk at NPW 2009.
That ain't half bad.
But he's still not losing his bet yet, argh! :D

Contributing to Perl
Inspiration is a big bother, at least when you don't have it.
I never felt that I had anything to contribute to the Perl community until the Nordic Perl Workshop this year, when I suddenly was involved in a small way.
I'm still involved in a small way, and only occasionally, but that works rather well.
In retrospect, my expectation that contributing would be a Big Deal turned out be wrong.
I don't have to solve all the problems in the world, and I don't have to solve the Big Ones, either.
It doesn't even take much of my time, and this level of contribution is one that suits many people.
Inspiration comes from the impression I have that there are many more people like me, and that all those little trickles of water we add to the pool are enough to keep the more active contributors going.
What is difficult, however, is to keep up with the Iron Man blogging challenge. I knew it would be when I got started, but I figured that there would always be something to write about without seeming too inane.
Today's post shows that I was wrong on that count. :D

Iron Man going strong
90 days on ...
English, German, Hebrew, Japanese, Magyar, Perl 5, Perl 6, Russian, ...
We're positively flourishing here!
When mst announced the Iron Man concept in his lightning talk at NPW 2009, I felt inspired, but I didn't expect it to work this well.
There are many extremely interesting blogs out there, sharing knowledge and experience at a level I definitely didn't expect.
It feels unique, it's wonderful, and I hope this will continue snowballing!
Thanks, guys!

Enlightened Perl Iron Man Competition
Well, if this isn't inspiring ...
This week, I hope to dedicate some time to what I said I was going to do at the NPW 2009 Hackathon, which was to spec complex number representation and presentation.
Thanks to pmichaud, I've at least confirmed my suspicions on which parts of the spec to do my changes in.
Maybe I fail, maybe I don't, but I think Perl 6 is definitely worth the effort.
