Overkill III: Permutations of Overkill (Perl6)
Long-time readers remember my previous code with the Magic Box . In short, given the numbers [ 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 ] , arrange them in a 3x3 square such that every row, column and diagonal adds up to 21. My first pass, on a very old computer, had th...

A Little Fun with OpenCV
I have a webcam that I have set to take pictures at work. Is this a long-term art project? Is it a classic Twitter over-share? An example of Quantified Self gone horribly, horribly wrong? I honestly don't know. I do know that it's brought me into interestin...

This required my wrapper of Webservice::Instagram. It doesn't.

http://ift.tt/28YQJmw Found on GitHub.

Mostly, it's there to handle OAuth fun and keep keys out of the program.

If you have questions, or want me to make this into a full-fledged GitHub repo, tell me in the comments or at @jacobydave on Twitter.

I dislike the Star Trek mission statement changing from "where no man has gone before" to "where no one has gone before." It was correct; now, it is incorrect. There are sentient species where they are going: so many have gone there before, but none of our species has.
