Hi, Two weeks ago I switched the email sending from an old mailman installation on my own server to Sendgrid. I was hoping to fix the delivery issues, but that did not happen. Some subscribers who have not received the newsletter earlier started to receive it, others stopped receiving it. The big difference is that now I see a report of who has not received it. For example I see many @cpan.org addresses in the bounce list. That's just sad. I got some offers to use other services, free of charge, but frankly I am quite tired of fighting the SPAM filters. In other news, we really hardly have any items to include in the newsletter. Well, except of the responsed to The Weekly Challenge, the job posts, and the posts of Flavio Poletti. These two issues together, and I really started to wonder if we should continue publishing the newsletter. What do you think? Enjoy your week! Gabor Szabo |

|
by Helmut Wollmersdorfer (WOLLMERS) One of the first programming success of my son was reducing a process that ran 24-hours to 5 minutes. Partially by replacing a slow Levenshtein Distance calculator by a fast one. It was in Python. So I am glad to a similar comparison in Perl. |
