My Life Lately

I'm sorry I haven't been blogging much. I'll try to do better. My laptop broke again, and it took me a while to get the automatic sync-blog-with-laptop tool going after moving to the new monk server.

The Haskell Cabal is going quite well, and I like my new job at Galois Connections.

I have been drooling over the Sharp Zaurus since Amazon sold off a bunch of them at a pretty low price. I probably should have grabbed one. They are rather powerful little computers, and they run Linux. Ah well, I'm still waiting for my dream phone / PDA / Linux machine to appear. The Zaurus can run Haskell code, though. I sorta picture this device as an ultimate remote-control for the internet. A super-portable Linux machine with wireless internet built in.

New Apartment

Well, I'm safely in my new apartment. Bummed about the election, though. Here are some pictures of my apartment and cat.

New Look Same Great Taste

Greetings all. I finally, after much pain and suffering, got my content and DNS moved to a new server. Probably, you won't see much of a difference, but this is the reason it's been so long since you've seen an entry from me!

I hope I haven't lost too many readers. You can expect more regular updates now :) Below is an entry that I wrote a while ago, but couldn't put up because of the DNS problems.

Chess

I just beat my brother in chess. I mean I really destroyed him. I just thought the internet needed to know that.

Oh, and I'm moving to Portland, Oregon. email me with any questions :)

E-Voting Sucks and Columbus Ohio Proves it

A software "bug" grants Bush about 4,000 votes in my own Columbus, Ohio.

The only reason they noticed is that only a few hundred votes were cast in that precinct. That's the only time they ever notice such bugs, since there's no way to do a recount.

Mr. Kerry. You need to demand a recount. Now, and when you can't get one, because these machines don't allow for recounts, you need to sue. We are losing democracy to either incompetent programmers or crooks. We need help. I'm so depressed.
