This week’s Perl Weekly Challenge has a task that wants strings to be “nice”, but if musical theater has taught me anything, it’s that nice is different than good (remember “good“?). But then my wife pointed out that if the task wants the string to be nice, then it must be nice.
So let’s get Washington on our side with Perl Weekly Challenge 329.
Perl Weekly Challenge 328 is about replacing strings, and calling one of the problems “Good” made me think of a song my wife claims is mostly forgotten by mainstream fans of Queen: Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy.
So let’s crank out some good old-fashioned code.
To work on Perl Weekly Challenge 327 I must be MAD, you say? MAD? MAD?!?!
Looking at this week’s challenge, the “date” aspect jumped out at me, and I thought of a an old song… Got a Date With an Angel.
So let’s get on our way to heaven with Perl Weekly Challenge 326.
Perhaps because I was just in a community production of Rock of Ages, the final counting of consecutive ones brought a 1986 song by Europe to mind.
Now since I’m no Andrew Lloyd Sondheim, let’s get on with Perl Weekly Challenge 325.
2D array… Total XOR… total.. 2D… TOTALLY 2BULAR!!! This week, let’s not listen to just a song, let’s listen to an entire album.
So now let’s exorcise some of our coding demons (or dæmons?) with Perl Weekly Challenge 324.
This week, George Harrison gives us a song about both incrementing and taxes: “One, two, three, four, one, two…“
Now that we’ve been counted in song, let’s count in code for Perl Weekly Challenge 323.
This week is another blog-light week; my evening for writing got eaten up by a production problem at work, so… here, listen to Signs by the Five Man Electrical Band while we whip through Perl Weekly Challenge 322.
They say that “comparison is the thief of joy”, but the people who say that aren’t computer scientists.
I’ve only got one song on my music server at home that has “compare” in the title, so please enjoy it (and have a link to the artists while you’re at it).
So now let’s head on into this week’s distinctly unique Perl Weekly Challenge 321.
I wrote the solutions two days ago, but couldn’t think of anything to write about it, and now it’s Mother’s Day and if I don’t post this now, it will be too late. And I promised myself I’d keep up with these for my mom, so, without any music or other commentary, let’s look at Perl Weekly Challenge 320.
