Umbrella by Marié Digby

I'd like to share this video that I heard from sir Randy a while a go.

I love the song by Rihanna and I'm always a sucker for acoustics so I instantly liked this.

Rihanna - Umbrella (Acoustic) by Marie Digby

 a little background on her that I found on the internet..

Marié Christina Digby is a Japanese-Irish American singer-songwriter, guitarist and pianist. She is most known for her acoustic cover version of Rihanna's No. 1 hit "Umbrella", which attracted attention on YouTube in 2007. 2 months after posting the video, her version was played on radio and caught massive attention. So far, she's been on the Carson Daly show performing "Umbrella" , performed on numerous radio stations and venues and has signed up a record deal with Hollywood Records. She's currently on a tour performing all over the states to sold-out venues.Her album will be out in Feb 2008. 

there you go… i hope you like it too and support her album sometime soon if ever it hits the shelves here in the Philippines.. 

My Radical Project update…

Finally, after 4 days of research I finally got the code that I needed…

# Process POST form variables.

if ($ENV{'REQUEST_METHOD'} eq "POST")
{
read(STDIN, $stuff, $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'});
@pairs = split(/\&/, $stuff);
foreach $pair (@pairs)
{
($name, $value) = split(/=/, $pair);
$$name = $value;
$$name =~ s/%(..)/chr(hex($1))/ge;
$$name =~ s/\+/ /g;
}
}

 it's called POST PROCESSING / PROCESSING POST from http://evolt.org

 now, my only problem is actually throwing the real values to the script now that I've already tried the script using serverpost testcases.

 I'll update as soon as it's finished.. and maybe I'll post some screenies!

I seek the wisdom of the perlmonks

I'd like share my post on the perlmonks… if ever you have any ideas.. help my out too ^^,

Hi,

I'd like to seek more wisdom regarding posting of values.

I am in a radical project where i was tasked to build a UI with XUL generated from perl (Template::Declare) i have no problems with the UI but with the forms.

I can't use inserting html elements because it sometimes does not display therefor useless. I can't seem to use XMLhttpRequests… I tried to use CGI.pm but it returned the whole page… something must be wrong here somewhere. (i'll try this again next time) I am now trying to use LWP but as extensive as I've read, all of them are posting to a PHP script.

If ever I get to implement the html element, the XMLhttpRequest, the CGI, and the LWP it will just bring me back to the problem that somehow how can I capture/receive the values passed from my form to the perl script?

something similar to:
<?php
header("Content-type: text/html");

while (list($key, $val) = each($_REQUEST)) {
echo "$key = $val\n";
}
?>

to expand things more.. I that perl script will access the database (no problem with this) and return a value back to my form (will pose another problem of posting/returning a value).

Many thanks… Hoping that someone has an idea on what to do… I'm open in learning things.. just that.. it has to be perl, xul, and html ^^,

roiji-

 It's still unapproved and I still have no reputation in the monestary.. T_T

I just hope it got approved… …and answered… 

Blank headspace

It' getting late and dark outside…

 And I'll be going home soon… AND I CAN"T STILL FIND THE ANSWER TO MY QUESTION!!

hayz…… gotta ask the monks again.. and this time i'm demanding intelligent answer from the sages.. monks i mean…

 good luck to me~ 

A little break from work…

My brain's a little tired of the LWP thingy that doesn't seem to work for me…

To give you a little background on why LWP — well you should already know why, read my previous, previous post…

Anyway.. I have this LWP script that will pass values to a script. the problem is.. no one seems to post the script that the values are passed to. Therefor, I'm posting to something that does not exist. 

ysth and ambrus of the perlmonks.org gave a hint that my servers have to be listening to LWP request.. so how do i set that? I'll think about it the next time…

Anyway… a little fun.. Here's the Top 60 soft skills required in any kind of work that you must have or posses as I have promised the other day

How many soft skills do you have so far? If below 40 not good enough, here is still ample time to develop it. Just do it! Cheers!

 So, with that said, I HAVE TO GIVE MY COMMENT/s!!

#'s 1  to 15 seems good but # 16??

Driver's license? — why do I need a Driver's license? ID? ok… if i'm an employer what is the advantage of a guy with a driver's license and another without if i'm into WEB DESIGNING…

17. Dependability? — Does that mean  I have to be dependent on others? Or others depends on me…? [Dependable!]

18. Advanced Math — what does sine, cosine, and tangent have to do with Human Resources?

# 19 to 24 is good…

25. Ability to measure — what? using what? measure what? what?!

#26 to 31 is good.

32. Personal Chemistry. — does that mean that if I have too much selenium in my body employers won't employ me? j/k!! the term is wrong~

33. Willingness to learn. — THIS IS REALLY A MUST. I have this co-worker who often asks me things that are search-able in  Google. I'm not Google!

34. Common sense. — ADD THIS!!

#35 — good.

36. Knowledge of fractions. — why? I already have math skills………………

# 37 is good-

38. Use of rulers and calculators.. — does call center agents use rulers and calculator to measure their service level?

#39 to the last # 60 is good and not everyone practices it so please read and understand them…

I know some of my comments are just joke but hey.. jokes are sometime true…

Well that's it for now… And I hope that the majestic monks of perlmonks can enlighten me more…
