Good Boys (2019)

Three 6th-grade boys ditch school and embark on an epic journey while carrying accidentally stolen drugs, being hunted by teenage girls, and trying to make their way home in time for a long-awaited party.

In the evening Esme and I watched Good Boys. The movie was funny and I rate it a 7 out of 10.

IF (2024)

A young girl who goes through a difficult experience begins to see everyone's imaginary friends who have been left behind as their real-life friends have grown up.

In the evening Esme and I watched IF. I was expecting more from it and rate it a 6 out of 10.

A Nasty Bug

In the evening I fixed a nasty bug in the Perl version of tumblelog introduced the 28th of March, 2025. I had replaced a todo counter with taking an array slice, wrongly assuming that if in Perl one makes the slice larger than the actual number of elements the whole array was used. Instead new elements, set to undef, are added. This resulted in the Perl version failing with a lot of warnings on a blog with just a few entries. This didn't occur while running the Perl version for Plurrrr because this blog has well over a thousand entries.

The fix was an easy one: calculated the minimum of the size of the array and the desired size and use it, minus one, as an upper bound in the slice.

After a test with the tumblelog included example Markdown file passed successfully, I pushed the new version to GitHub.
