2010 has, to date, been an odd year. I’m not entirely sure what I expected but I had something more idyllic in mind. The last two weeks, I’ve been struggling mightily with some personal issues and come to recognize some character flaws in the process. That’s never fun. In particular, I have some communication problems [...]
Introduction Today, I want to talk about something I’ve been meaning to get around to for a while. Specifically, I want to mention some realizations I’ve had about restrictions-as-strengths as it relates to programming languages. This blog post was so long in coming in part because I had conflated that issue with a desire to [...]
So the last time I really blogged about RedLinux was back in September 08 when I made the first release. I kept tweaking things now and again but at this point I’ve got something that I’m really not messing with very often. I’ve christened it “Redlinux v.20″ and I’m planning on trying to make releases [...]
Before I start running my mouth without thinking, some disclaimers: 1) This has no business showing up on reddit. It’s a journal entry from a dumb kid who played for a few hours. I’m acutely aware of it. Also, there would be no post (no code) at all if cgibbard (Cale) in #haskell hadn’t been [...]
I sort of forgot that schoolwork all bunches together for a nice crunch towards the end of the semester. Consequently, I’m juggling a fair bit at the moment. Not least because I’m also sorting out Financial Aid and Housing for the next year. On the bright side, I’ve got some fun projects in the works [...]
John Wiegley posted an article that I thought was fun a week or so back called “Hello Haskell, Goodbye Lisp”. Naturally, it made it on Hackernews and Reddit and there were comments of all stripes. Whenever somebody posts an article about a language they’re learning the initial reaction from some folks is “What an idiot. [...]

There are a bunch of links I want to dump out of my browser and I can’t think of a coherent way to do so. Here we go: The berrics has finally wrapped up. Unbelievably, I predicted Benny Fairfax’s defeat of PJ Ladd. What a Long Shot. That match was awesome. Similarly the PJ Ladd [...]
I can’t believe it’s only been 8 days since I posted last. Life has been moving at an insane speed but I’ve been really happy. A lot of things are just sort of coming together lately and I have to say it’s a pretty pleasant change of pace. Dad’s on the mend. We don’t have [...]
I didn’t even realize I hadn’t posted in over a week. I just got through the first big “crunch period” in school and did pretty well. This weekend will be relaxation and unwinding to a pretty large extent. So what’s happened besides the school stuff? I got Street Fighter IV. I am planning on throwing [...]
Some days (or nights) you just feel like an idiot. There’s no rhyme or reason and there’s just no stopping it. I suspect that it’s a result of wanting to do so many things and being unable to cover it all. The last week or so has flown by. Everything seems to be moving very [...]
