Code

I decided the other day for a variety of reasons, to switch from the mod_perl web-app style to using Fast CGI with HTML::Mason. I only found one application out there that uses Mason with Fast CGI, which was the RT Ticket tracking system.

How often have you seen those sites with a form, and after you miss a field, it pops up a little message in red under the text box indicating what went wrong?

Growl is a rather spiffy little notifier for OS X I've started using lately. Currently however, it's lacking a nice way to send messages over the network. Since a project I'm working on would be even slicker with a way to communicate updates, I quickly tacked a Python XML-RPC Server onto Growl using Growl's Python bindings.
