This week has been pretty cool =) My partner and some hackers from the OSS project he's involved with have been gearing up for the ICFP contest (http://icfpc.plt-scheme.org/). I'm very interested in seeing what will be happening in the next few days as they work on the first stage of the competition entry. Read More

I've been fortunate enough to get my hands on a replacement laptop thanks to someone who has now secured my life-long adoration. My venerable dell latitude csx that has served me for much of the last year has been acting up lately eating up batteries and having the charger malfunction. Read More

I'm making plans to possibly move to Sydney sometime within the next few months. For those of you in the US, New Zealand is not a part of Australia, and I even need a passport to go there. Read More

This week I'm rewriting the kicker handbook and I'm wondering how one jazzes up documentation about the absolute basics. How do you not send your audience to sleep explaining the concept of a taskbar? Read More
