The end of (some kind of) ignorance

At the end of the nineties (mean about ten years ago ;-)) I had a lot of information sources. Google was unknown at this time, MetaGer (a german meta search engine that queries several search engines for information) was state of the art and a query took about ten times as long as it takes now. But I had subscribed to Linux-Magazin, Linux Journal and The Perl Journal (all magazines from first issue) and read some other magazines occasionally.

Then I felt that I didn’t get the right value (mean: wealth of information), cancelled the subscriptions and used google and friends to find the information I wanted.

Recently I discovered The Perl Review and some special editions of the Linux-Magazin. Now I have subscribed to both magazines again, bought a stack of back issues and can’t wait to get the next issue.

Some things take a bit longer till the happy end …
