Util-H2O-More-0.2.4
provides baptise, a drop-in replacement for bless; like if bless created accessors for you. This module also provides additional methods built using h2o or o2h from Util::H2O that allow for the incremental addition of OOP into existing or small scale Perl code without having to fully commit to a Perl OOP framework or compromise one's personal Perl style.

Changes for 0.2.4
  • changed ini2o to ini2h2o, o2ini to h2o2ini to make the naming more consistent with already existing helper apps, like opt2h2o (sorry if this causes anyone problems; I don't assume many people use this too heavily atm).

I was asked to Interview at #JPL once for an immediate need contract to address some infrastucture issues back in the NT 4.0 days.

The interview itself went well between me and three staff members, and at the end they gave me a quick tour of the facilities and team members I would be managing.

I figured I would be receiving a call and offer letter in the next day or two, but before I left, they led me to a room with some workstations and asked me to take a test.

I declined.

Less than a month later, two of those interviewers in the group were among the students attending a Core Technologies class I was teaching in the #MCSE program.

"When you boil the water, you really should just make the damn coffee."
