> In March 1997, I went online from Linux, at home, and a whole world opened. There was IRC, there was source code, and I felt overwhelmed. I taught myself more Perl, I dabbled in Pike, learned about Makefiles, shell scripts, regexps, it was bliss. Having all that information, all that source code available was amazing. However, phone bills were still high, so I continued my careful planning of my online-time. I did spend a lot of time on IRC, though, because I could do that while my stuff downloaded.
> Sam Aaron worked long and hard towards a new major release of his Sonic Pi software, and kept us informed about his coding journey on Twitter. Eventually a 4.0.0 version saw the light of day, 17 months after the final 3.x version (3.3.1) came out. Sam writes really informative release notes, I encourage you to check them out on his release page. Lots of enhancements and fixes to be enjoyed.
