So here's what life has been like:
So here's what life has been like:
I recently updated the darcs package for Debian. Darcs is a really neat new distributed version control system. It's easier to use than CVS or Arch, IMO (though I use Arch all the time at work, and love it).
The Haskell Cabal is
almost ready for a release. I really only need to write a parser (in
Haskell) for a file format that looks vaguely like email headers.
That's almost ready, though. I hate writing parsers. I seem to have
to do it all the time. I'm using Parsec which is a
really cool Haskell API which makes it painless to write parsers for
context sensitive infinite look-ahead grammars.
I realize that I almost never talk about work on my blog, but I'll mention that in the last few months, I designed a large project (with a lot of feedback from my coworkers) and we're well on our way to implementing it in the Mighty Haskell Programming Language. Good times!
I just got back online after a Roadrunner outage that lasted a few days. I had suspected that it was a modem problem, and when they tried a new modem, it worked out of the box. Woohoo!
The guy was really confused when he saw my computer though. I let him believe it was a Macintosh (I run Debian on a Gateway). If you tell Roadrunner tech support that you run "Linux", then they're instructed to stop talking to you.
