Halloween 2026

Every year, we get more and more Trick-or-Treaters at our door. This year, it was 1091 people.

I always say that one of the reasons we get so many is my wife’s Halloween playlist she blasts out our front windows; and every year, I get asked what’s on it. Each year I hem and haw because I can’t remember everything, it changes every year, and my wife doesn’t keep the playlist somewhere I have access to.

So this year, I snuck onto the laptop driving the speakers, exported the playlist, mounted my laptop over the network and copied the file there. Here it is, Kelonzi’s 2026 Halloween Playlist:

Perl Weekly Challenge: What do I get out of this?

Perl Weekly Challenge 396‘s tasks are “Finishing Order” and “Trionic Array”.

There isn’t much to go on for music here. There are a couple songs that are about finishing, but the thing that keeps popping into my head is the band New Order. I used “Blue Monday” back in PWC390, so let’s have “Sub-culture” this time.

Perl Weekly Challenge: Alternate Tune, Alternate View

Perl Weekly Challenge 394‘s tasks are “Alternate Case” and “Alternating Vowels Consonants”.

The word isn’t a major part of the song, but “alternate” does get repeated and repeated at the end of side two of Tales from Topographic Oceans: “The Remembering (High the Memory)“. So, sure, have 20+ minutes of Yes from 1973 while we work on this challenge…

Perl Weekly Challenge: Old King Cole Was A Merry Old Soul

Perl Weekly Challenge 391‘s tasks are “Array Median” and “Arrange Box”.

I was trying really hard to think of some music to go with “array”, “median”, or “arrange”… when a voice in my head hit me with a brick and said “Music. Box. The Musical Box, you bozo.”

So have 10+ minutes of Peter Gabriel-era Genesis to enjoy while you read my solutions to this week’s challenge.

Perl Weekly Challenge: How does it feel to decode me like you do?

Perl Weekly Challenge 390‘s tasks are “Decode String” and “Order Characters”.

Remember back in April, when PWC 369 had a task “Group Division”, and that made me think of the group Joy Division? Yeah, well “Order Characters” made me think of New Order, which is the band Joy Division turned into. So while we’re enjoying this coding challenge, enjoy all seven and a half minutes of Blue Monday.
