Hasta La Vista, mod_perl - Hola mod_parrot! While I've become more fond of running my application outside of the webserver (i.e. using mod_jk2 to wire Tomcat to Apache is my preferred modus operandi these days), mod_perl will always have a place in my heart; I'm actually writing a mod_perl handler for a simple web application right now.

Well, I'm painfully aware of how mod_perl is getting long in the tooth. So I was pleased to read of mod_parrot. While it's probably going to be a while before I get a chance to mess with Perl 6 and Parrot (or even Python and Parrot), I'm hopeful that mod_parrot will provide high productivity with application with modernized programming facilities in the future.

Oh, by the way, Happy Festivas!

Technorati

Who?

I'm Ian Kallen. I'm an entrepreneur and technologist working on Blockboard. My technical interests are focused on mobile, location, cloud computing, big data, real time event systems, search, devops and agile web application code. I'm a long time open source enthusiast and enjoy right-sizing code architecture and infrastructure with the scope and stage a technology startup is operating at.

Previously, I was an independent technology consultant. Prior to that, I did a long stint with Technorati leading the Core Services engineering group in architecting a backend to support search and exploring the web as it changes in real time. I have an eclectic background in technology, publishing, social software and ... life. I like to think: well rounded. I have been online participating in virtual communities since 1988 and developing online resources, services and systems as well as enterprise software since 1991. Once in a while, I have time and inspiration to blog.
