Issue #190 - 2015-03-16 - It's All About Numbers
latest | archive | edited by Yanick Champoux
Don't miss the next issue!

Numbers, numbers, everything revolve around numbers. Last week not only had a Friday the 13th, but also saw the celebrations of Pi Day (which mostly revolve around making math jokes and eating pies). This edition of the PW doesn't lack in numerals either: amongst other things, Rex turns 1, Neil hangs 10 (places most likely to host your module repository) and Timm has fun with GPS coordinates. Enjoy! ~ `/anick Yanick Champoux |
