This is great. A female game designer from Ubisoft has written a game for the Nintendo DS that uses the DS’s unique tactile properties to create a game to teach females about female stimulation.
It’s unique. Probably not work safe:

I’ve updated my blogroll to reflect all the weblogs I’m currently reading in my newsreader. My newsreader is Sharpreader
The very nice windows .Net based reader produced by Luke Hutteman.
I know I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking “wow! Pat, that is a lot of typing and cutting and pasting! Why go [...]

Only in dreams
We see what it means
Reach out our hands
Hold on to hers
But when we wake
It’s all been erased
And so it seems
Only in dreams
–Weezer Only In Dreams
Abe Fathman told me one time that he frequently has dreams wherein he solves programming problems. That doesn’t happen often to me (really only once that I [...]

I was getting really furious about the GOP is just shoving its collective way down our throats by consistently voting as a block in the Senate, and I was scanning around on the senate website trying to find a place where the votes are all tallied by party so that I could fuel my righteous [...]

I have a directory with all the single mp3s and folders for each band and its albums. When I tried to import that into iTunes, iTunes only imported a fraction of that folder. Apparently iTunes can’t handle 1200 files and 100+ folders. Whatever.
So I realized that I needed to create a playlist [...]

use ppm to uninstall the existing DBI module and then use PPM to install the following two modules:
ppm install ftp://ftp.esoftmatic.com/outgoing/DBI/5.8.4/DBI.ppd
pppm install ftp://ftp.esoftmatic.com/outgoing/DBI/5.8.4/DBD-Oracle.ppd
the version number in the URL should match the version number of Perl that you are running. Cruise around the FTP site to find what you are looking for.
MMV of course since you [...]

It really is, but one thing I don’t get is why do people think that Perl is somehow superior for web programming. My heavens what a mess of print statements!
Give me a language you can embed into the html anyday. Like PHP or ASP.
Also, if you are paying for hosting chances are that [...]

Although I have been calling this series “Parsing a Bibliography” I haven’t really parsed much of anything. I used Perl to split the lines on spaces and took the first string that occurred making the general assumption that that was a last name. That’s really all I needed to do for this particular [...]

Our 2nd step is to search all of those bibliographies for common author last names.
Conceptually this is actually very very simple. It simply means performing an intersection on each set (array) and then combining the results. So given 4 lists I’ll have six possible intersections:
List1 + List2
List1 + List3
List1 + List4
List2 + List3
List2 [...]

I recently found myself having to try and do some work with several bibliographies and learned a little bit more about why Perl is THE pre-eminent language for carving up text.
My goal was to take several bibliography’s of biblical reference material. Some liberal, some conservative. I was aiming to find authors that appeared [...]
