Recently I started to work on a new project Backbone Mobile. This will be very modular approach for html5 widgets for mobile web applications. Since it's modular, I wanted to keep all CSS and JavaScript files separated and create "bundle" with "make" command. 

Some of my clients asked to put "Cancel" button to node edit and block edit pages.

While adding Cancel button to node form could be done pretty easily with http://drupal.org/project/more_node_buttons , there is no such module for block form pages.

So this simple module adds "Cancel" button to block edit pages.

QB Pro Timer could be used under Ubuntu. You need to install few libraries for it, since this piece of "software" written on VB.

It uses MDAC, OLE automation, MS JET for handling database and bunch of other activex components.

In order to make life easier, I installed 'winetricks':

That's it. Now you can proceed as usual with installing QB Pro Timer and use it.

I always liked Perl language. Unfortunately, PHP popularity forced me to start do major development with this language. That's why Perl became "hobby" tool of choose.

Whenever I am doing new "own" project, I try to do it with Catalyst Framework. This is another web framework, written on modern Perl and utilizes modules like Moose, DBIx::Class, Template Toolkit. It gives nice structured code which allows to extend or refactor it later easily.
