Eclipse really rocks for Java development. IntelliJ IDEA has a very serious competitor there.

I just finished The Man Who Loved Only Numbers, a biography of Paul Erdös.

A Dream

I have had a dream since I was a teenager: owning a Honda Goldwing. After twenty years, and if nothing unexpected happens, this dream will be come true next week. I'm gonna feel something very special.

This is a picture taken yesterday of my friend Óscar (right) and me (left).

Yet another release of Hash::MultiKey is out. Spoon, from freenode#perl, checked whether the module works under perl 5.005 and found out the use of "/" in pack() prevents that.

A new release of Hash::MultiKey is out. The documentation is more explicit about how multi-keys work in this module, and empty keys result in a fatal error now. New tests have been added.

I have read a pair of books about Richard Feynman recently. How refreshing!

One of the things I like more about him is that genuine curiosity for everything. It's really inspiring. You know, it's difficult to say but it's as if reading those anecdotes reminded me that we have the right of being that curious and playful for the rest of our lifes, to enjoy it forever.

Hash::MultiKey: adding some error checking and rewriting some tests.

I completely rewrote Hash::MultiKey. The new release is already available from CPAN. Now is based in Benjamin Goldberg's approach, which is much superior.

Excellent! Benjamin Goldberg has suggested a radical improvement to Hash::MultiKey. The current tree is substituted altogether by a simple hash that manages keys with pack() and unpack(). Far much simple and efficient.

Finally, Hash::MultiKey is available from CPAN.
