File::Find::Rule::Age makes it easy to search for files based on their mtime.
DateTime and File::stat are used to do the behind the scenes work, with
File::Find::Rule doing the Heavy Lifting.

sapo launched sapo.cv (cabo verde) this week. sapo’s cto, celso martinho, has written a post describing the choices made and the work required to make this possible. i translated it to english because i believe it’s a great case study and something handy to have around :), even though i don’t agree with a couple of minor details. without further ado,

my very minor disagreements essentially boil down to the fact that not everyone has a wallet as big as portugal telecom's, so it's not always possible to follow 2 above (and in fact, i think it's true that sapo - and other portuguese isp's *cough* - didn't do it in the past because it simply couldn't pay that price); and i find it very hard to reconcile 2 with 3 and 4, although if anyone can do it it's certainly celso's team.

congratulations to everyone :)

"love the hardware, but the os sucks"

• i can't afford a mac. computers should be subsidised.


• i don't have a real job and i can spend all my days installing window managers and fiddling with mime type associations. oh, and i confuse window managers with operating systems.


• i've never looked at a single line of darwin or read anything about its design. come to think of it, the same is true for linux. i'm 31337.
