Perl 5.14 Released

A new stable release for Perl has been released. It's not yet Perl 6, but the developer has added so many features that will also be available in the future Perl 6. Some new features that are highlight of this release are:

• Unicode 6.0 support, along with many, many improvements to our
  Unicode-related features


• Improved support for IPv6


• Significantly easier autoconfiguration of the CPAN client


• A new /r flag which makes s/// substitutions non-destructive


• New regular expression flags to control whether matched strings should be treated as ASCII or Unicode


• New "package Foo { }" syntax


• Uses less memory and CPU than previous releases

For complete new features and changes on this release, please have a look on PerlDelta.

After this release, the developers aren't stopping. They have created a roadmap towards future Perl 5.16:

We will release Perl 5.14.1 in approximately one month. This
patch release will include corrections for any significant issues
discovered in this release but will not include new features or
any incompatible changes.

Perl 5.16 will be released in the spring of 2012. If you'd like to help
shape Perl 5's future, please join us on the perl5-porters mailing list.

MU Won EPL Title

The title went to Chelsea last year, but this year, the title was brought back to the champion, Manchester United following a draw against Blackburn Rovers, thanks to a penalty by Wayne Rooney after Javier Hernandez was brought down by Paul Robbinson.

The trophy will be given at their last match next week in Old Trafford as FA didn't bring the trophy this week. It will be a pleasant party since all of the MU fans can celebrate the party at their home base, Old Trafford, one of the best stadium in England and probably in the world.

AdSense Account Suspended

Just know, i visited my blog and i wondered, why does the Google AdSense is not showing on my blog? I checked my Monetize tab on Blogger and it says it was suspended . I never put anything on my web and now suddenly it was suspended by Google

I have asked them to review my account and hopefully they will reinstate my AdSense account. I don't really have much money there, but it's been so hard collecting them cent by cent for years and now they are gone in just an instant

This is almost the same problem i had with PayPal few months ago. There was an invalid activity on my account thus my account was suspended. The reason was because someone hacked into other people's account and send the money to me so it was like a scapegoat

Let's hope Google really being generous to reinstate my AdSense account back to me

New Curriculum

Starting next semester, we are enrolling new curriculum for all of our students. As always, new curriculum means there will be some adjustment for the students, so for that reason, we held a socialization event this morning for each class.

Since i was a supervisor for class 2010, i attended this morning and give some brief information about why it's neccessary for the changes and also how it will be applied. Luckily my class is a new class, so they were not affected much by the new system.

We really worked hard to make sure that the students gets the benefit of it and not the way around. Trust me... We are making the best choice for you guys

Installing BackTrack 5

I have some time this morning, so i decided to try the new BackTrack 5 on top of VirtualBox. The installation is pretty straightforward and it's less confusing than Ubuntu even though it uses the same base (Ubuntu 10.04 LTS).

After i logged in to the desktop using the Live CD ISO (I picked the KDE version), there's only a single desktop shortcut, which is a shortcut to install BT 5 on hard drive.

I had problems when installing Ubuntu, mostly when setting the timezone since it tries to connect to the time server and it usually not responding for some time before it become active again. This doesn't happen on BackTrack 5. The longest part is when the installer stopped at 99% saying "Almost finished copying files...". I think they are still doing background process and it tried to connect to the Internet.

Once this is done, i should have BackTrack 5 installed.

If you would like to install Ubuntu-based Linux distributions, it would be a good idea to disable your network card prior installing if you don't have a good Internet connection. It will make your installation much much faster and you can configure your network card after the installation is done. This way, you won't stuck at installing phase
