moritz good morning everybody 06:48
I've pushed the first blog post with code examples and explanations
feedback is very welcome
[ptc] moritz++ 07:27
moritz: is it ok if I replace the spaces in the image filenames with underscores? 07:28
just me being an old terminal user and that :-)
moritz [ptc]: yes, that should be fine 07:32
I'm also a tiny bit unhappy about $line being an index in the earlier examples, and an actual line in the later examples
maybe I should change that to $line-number in the earlier examples? 07:33
[ptc] have only just pulled from the repo, I need to have a read through of everything first
I'll give you feedback as soon as I can
moritz ok, no hurry 07:34
[ptc] am about to reach Bremen, so probably won't be able to it now :-)
[ptc] is totally stoked Deutsche Bahn finally has free WiFi
moritz it has? 07:35
[ptc] yup. Finally. 07:36
they're rolling it out on all ICEs and are supposed to be finished with it by the end of the year
I still find trains that don't have it yet, but when I do, it's gooooood :-)
moritz last I heard some ICE trains had experimental wifi for free, and then a few weeks ago when it came out of beta, they charged for it
[ptc] I had that too, did a bit of looking around and found it's supposed to stay free 07:37
we'll see how we go. Finger's crossed!
moritz \\/X\\ 07:38
[ptc] had you thought of a DB example, maybe with DBIish? Or is that starting to get a bit outside the realm of Perl6 by Example? 07:39
moritz [ptc]: I had, in fact
[ptc]: recently for $work I wrote a small tool called silent-cron. It silences jobs that fail only occasionally, and keeps the state in an sqlite DB 07:40
a p6 implementation of such a tool might be a nice exercise
[ptc] $silent-cron == /dev/null ;-)
agreed, that'd be a good task, small, but shows the essentials 07:41
bbiab & 07:42
moritz the point is that it doesn't swallow all errors, only the occasional one :-)

[ptc] moritz: I love the way the sudoku example gets first longer, and then finally shorter, as more functionality is added! That's very cool! 17:05
moritz [ptc]: I'm glad you like it 17:10
fwiw I've checked in the examples as separate files, and expected output too, and I've written a very primitive test runner to check that the output is indeed correct 17:31
the leanpub toolchain allows inclusion of code files, so whenever we want to use the full scripts, we can avoid duplication 17:32

DrForr Hopefully that's a namespace other books can fit in? :) 19:59
moritz no, not a namespace 20:04
first come, first serve
other books will have to have qualified names (perl6-oo, perl6-blabla)
DrForr Nod, didn't figure it was a big deal. Besides, just got back from vacation... 20:05
