11:08 <@sri> purl: stupid bot
11:08 < purl> Stupid is as stupid does.
11:09 <@draven> purl, excuse for sri?
11:09 < purl> draven: knot in cables caused data stream to become twisted and kinked
11:10 <@sri> then we release 5.10 today?

And we would have, if our rotten release manager hadn't gotten himself drunk. So the 5.1 release happened this morning instead. See the release announcement for more information. In other news:

• Configs for various platforms are available at http://home.ngmedia.net/chansen/catalyst/conf. These will be merged into the manual, and maybe even provided as a helper in the near future.
• Hot tip for windows users:

16:59 < andyg> they want me to run mine under IIS.. hopefully I don't have to
16:59 < obra> FastCGI!
17:02 < obra> www.fastcgi.com

• Some bugfixes for Catalyst on windows followed, these made it into 5.1.

17:41 < obra> svn.openfoundry.org/bamboo/trunk
17:41 < obra> there are design docs that are worth reading
17:56 < obra> CDBI is in wide enough use that I'd special case it in Module::Refresh

... And we all rejoiced. I'll provide a test case for obra once I'm feeling less like my head is exploding.

• Random link of the day: http://www.mrspeaker.webeisteddfod.com/2005/04/17/the-fonz-and-ajax
• Chansen wrote some plugins. They'll be imported to trunk and cpanified soon, but for now here you go:

• Rconover of came by to chat with sri and chansen, and they all had a jolly good discussion on the ecommerce market.
  Lots of words like SOAP,WDSL,CRM and NDA were thrown around, made me glad I was drunk and had to read it in the scrollback <grin>
