Hi! First, let me thank all the people who sent me responses to my question about DevOps two weeks ago. They were very interesting. Second, I am sort of happy that this week was a bit short on articles as I am putting together this edition while on vacation in Andorra trying to practice my Spanish. Wow, they speak fast and skip parts of the words. Not to mention that often they speak a language that is clearly not Spanish, but has many words in it that I could recognize. I guess it was Catalan, but I have not figured out if Catalan has a lot of common words with Spanish or if they just freely mixed the two languages. Not to mention the time when they speak French to us. At least then I knew immediately I have no chance. It must be interesting to constantly speak 3-4 languages and try to guess which one to use with which person. On another note, the dates of the Swiss Perl Workshop were announced. I guess that could be an opportunity to practice German, Italian, and French. Besides English and Perl. Oh, and then there is the new Perl Banjo. Make sure you check it out! BTW the German Perl Workshop is just 2 days away! Anyway, enjoy your week! Gabor Szabo |
