With PWC 354's tasks being "Min Abs Diff" and "Shift Grid", I was a bit stuck for a musical theme. So I free associated: "grid" made me think of the cover of The Rolling Stones' album, Some Girls. So let's listen to that while we write challenges. #PerlWeeklyChallenge #raku #perl #python #elixir

"Validate Coupon" and "Max Words" are the tasks for Perl Weekly Challenge 353. I can't believe I've done tasks with Max before and it never occurred to me that I needed to feature a song with Max Headroom. Ok, swing code... swing! #PerlWeeklyChallenge #raku #perl #python #elixir

Even though PWC 352's tasks "Match String" and "Binary Prefix" ought to have been fertile ground for a musical theme related to the tasks, because of a certain someone's 100th birthday celebration, I couldn't think of anything but The Doodlin' Song. #PerlWeeklyChallenge #raku #perl #python #elixir

Since Perl Weekly Challenge 351's tasks are "Special Average" and "Arithmetic Progression", I decided that this week's musical theme should be Average Person by Paul McCartney. #PerlWeeklyChallenge #raku #perl #python #elixir

@samebchase #Raku and #Emacs are dead ? I really like #Perl, but personally after trying Raku, its terribly hard to go back to it, for example because of the `->` and `@{$var}` or `$var->@*` just to list a few.

I missed the first day of #ArtAdventCalendar and I can't 'bear' to miss any more!

This piece is called 'Aurora Bear'.

Perl Weekly Challenge: Shuffling the Good With PWC 350's tasks being "Good Substrings" and "Shuffle Pairs", I really couldn't avoid the musical theme being Boz Scaggs' Lido Shuffle. So let's do one more for the road in the Perl Weekly Challenge. #PerlWeeklyChallenge #raku #perl #python #elixir

With PWC 349's tasks being "Power String" and "Meeting Point", I had a tough music choice. I could have given you Kansas, but my high school/college years were the 80s, so I had to go with my heart and use The Power of Love by Huey Lewis & The News. #PerlWeeklyChallenge #raku #perl #python #elixir

I made a garden tentacle for our last raku session of the year. It came out really nice.

Cobalt blue with projections of copper mate and a touch of teal.
