It is possible to use Perl to program in what Larry Wall call "baby Perl", i.e. a simple subset of Perl. It is more difficult to do it in .NET. I've been trying to explore VB.NET and ASP.NET for the last 4 months but I am always overwhelmed by the size of CLR. How one does know which module contains which function to accomplish a given task? It reminds me of an article by Jon Udell in Byte where he was looking for parallel between ways of doing things in various languages (What is the Data::Dumper of Frontier? ). I know ways of doing things in many languages but they are of no use with VB.NET. Even my (now rusted) knowledge of VB5 seems of no help. Micro$oft should publish a "map" linking concepts or tasks with snippets of VB.NET and maybe of VB6, just for comparison's sake. When you are exploring .NET on your own, there is just too much things to learn or re-learn.

I've been toiling for the last two evenings on my SX6000. An exchange of correspondance with Laird_Williams put me on the right path. The "missing link" was the BIOS. I was still using version 4.01 that shipped with the board. I upgraded to the current 4.03 version. It seems the SX6000 can't work with version 4.01 of the BIOS. After the BIOS upgrade, I put the SX6000 back and I managed to format a 5-disks RAID5 array for testing purpose. So far the benchmarks are quite disappointing: 22MB/sec in writing and 12 MB/sec in reading. I couldn't make the Promise Array Manager tool work on my workstation. I'll have to do some tweaking over the week-end... Tonight I'll put back my Adaptec 29160 and I'll see if it plays nice with the SX6000. If it does, I'll wipe out the array and create a new one with the sixth disk I just replaced yesterday (while creating the array originally, it always froze on initialization at 10%). I'll have at last my long-needed 6-disks RAID5 array. I won't run out of space while editing the videos I shot while on holidays.
Je n’avais aucune idée qu’il était prévu de nommer les arrondissements de la nouvelle ville fusionnée auparavant connu par des numéros. Surprise donc pour ce matin en lisant Le Soleil, les noms ont été dévoilés :
(…) l'arrondissement 1, qui regroupe les quartiers Saint-Roch, Saint-Sauveur, Saint-Sacrement, Montcalm, Saint-Jean-Baptiste, le Vieux-Québec et le Cap-Blanc, s'appelle maintenant La Cité.
L'arrondissement 2 perd son chiffre au profit du nom Les Rivières. Il regroupe Vanier, les quartiers Des Rivières, Les Saules, Duberger, Lebourgneuf, et une partie de Neufchâtel.
L'arrondissement 3 garde son nom de Sainte-Foy—Sillery. Tout comme l'arrondissement 4, qui reste Charlesbourg parce que son territoire est exactement le même que celui de l'ancienne ville de ce nom.
C'est bien de savoir que malgre la folie de la fusion, mon arrondissement natal gardera son nom d'origine. Qu'on ne raye jamais Sillery de la carte!!!!
