I have been a big fan of Damian Conway ever since I bought his book "Perl Best Practices". With the recent regular blog by him about various tasks from the Perl Weekly Challenge showed us really interesting aspects of the task. The one he blogged, Vigenère vs Vigenère last was really special about Vigenere Cipher. I must admit I didn't know half of what he shared in the blog. I wonder how many knew the Vigenere Cipher wasn't invented by Vigenere.

I think, I owe him a drink next time I meet, as per the English tradition. However, being a practicing Muslim, I can't offer drink, instead I would offer box of chocolates.

In the mean time, I am going to reserve space for him in the weekly blog by name "Damian Corner" where we would talk about his blog.

What else happening these days?

I try to keep myself busy during the week by writing short blogs. In the weekly series "Meet The Champion", we recently spoke to Adam Russell, the winner of Perl Weekly Challenge - 016.

I also blogged about the optional API task which we introduced recently. Check out how Neil Bowers took it to another level. Perl Weekly Challenge - Optional API Task.

Enjoy !!!
