The tenth Beatle

vsergu on 2002-05-21T22:45:11

Google has put up some interesting things at labs.google.com. If you try searching sets with "Ringo" and "John", you get the expected other two, but you also have the option of growing the set. I've heard of various fifth Beatles, but I didn't know of the mysterious "Volkswagon" [sic] or of Anton Taddy and two (or maybe four)other members of his family.


Perl modules

I get bad results when I try sets of DBD backends, such as {DBD::Oracle, DBD::Pg, DBD::CSV}, but fairly nice results when I try sets of date related modules {Date::Manip, Time::Object}.

How about the Larry Wall set?

Awesome.

I notice Lincoln Stein made it twice.

Seems kinda lame ... I tried "Chris Nandor" and got only "Vicki Brown" and "Rich Morin", whom I wrote a book with. But nothing else. And "pudge" provides only two results, neither of which I recognize. If I try both, I get the same four other elements. "MacPerl" gives the second element of "Globalization" followed by "Database", "Net", and "PureAmiga". I wonder how they construct these things ...
