Happy Christmas everybody.

Thank you for visiting my little web site.

Thank you for your bug reports, and your suggesitons.

Thank you to everybody who contributed to all of the Advent Calendars to which I've linked.

Thank you to the Authors of the   WWW::AdventCalendar  module, who made it so easy to bodge together an Advent Calendar, and for accepting my  pull request.

Now it's time for some chinese food.

It is Christmas Eve, another Advent draws to a close, and if MST continues to publish the MSTPAN articles, we'll add them to the 2014 calendar.

A bunch of interesting mods were made to the preprocessor to accommodate MST's non-traditional publication schedule. Which has led to some thinking about some freatures of version 2 of Magrathea (the planet builder):

• Database backed instead of static templates
• Simple format definition so that maintainers of advent calendars with irregularly named articles - articles with names that cannot be computed from the year/month/day - can communicate their article names to me so that I can link directly to the articles instead of to the main calendar page or the blog home page
• Re-write the calendar generator itself or add a feature to WWW:AdventCalendar to specify templates other than those that ship with it.
• New look and feel - we'll se what's available at the time

Added Calendars for 2000-2004, presently containing only the Perl Advent Calendar for those years.

Day 4 of Advent 2014 - I'm reminded that there's a little bit of over-escaping of HTML entities going on. Something to fix this weekend.

Gratitude

Thanks to MST - who is publishing 24 articles he's calling MSTPAN. Well worth the read.

Thanks to my referrer logs, and the  Advent Calendars for Web Professionals: 2014  page at lireo.com, I have added bunch of topical advent calendars for 2014 and years past: UXMAS [2012-2014], WebKrauts (in German) [2005-2014], praegnanz.de ([2014] also in German), WordPress Snippets [2013], themergency [2013], Mozilla Developer Network [2012-2013], High Position [2013],

As day 2 of Advent 2014 draws to a close, I think I have all of the kinks worked out of the 2014 template, and I have a better understanding of  git push -u.

Gratitude
