Apparently my blog got onto some mailing list, because there’s suddenly 40 new, good posts from people I don’t know, mainly griping at BHurt’s Postgres for the Win! post.
Well, welcome aboard! For those who didn’t see their comment until now, it’s because of mailserver difficulties, and I moderate the first comment from any person. Once I’ve green-lighted one of your posts, you’re good to post to your hearts’ content aftewards.
Edit: Also popular are Brian’s C++/Threading rant and OO/Relational conversations. I guess this blog is going to go technical one way or another!
Edit: Based on Google’s reports, I’ve updated our Google SiteMap to point to those sites, along with the Ocaml programming and politics category. I’m hoping that will help it sort out our #1 Hit to go to the actual article where lazy lists are talked about, instead of just to the Ocaml programming category in general.

Well, that and my C++ flaming.
For those of you who are new, there are two main writers on this blog- myself and Robert “Chia” Fischer (who once did tell me how he got the nickname “Chia”, but it made no sense at the time and I’ve since forgotten it). Chia’s the secret master of the universe, er, Mason, and I’m the bomb-throwing radical.
New articles get added whenever Chia or I have something to say, not on any regular basis. I’d recommend getting an RSS feed aggregator (I use liferea myself). These wonderful gifts given to us by a wise god allow you to follow hundreds of infrequently updated blogs (such as this one) without the tedium of having to constantly recheck blogs that haven’t changed in long periods of time.

I use Thunderbird’s built-in RSS support. It reminds me of my old newsgroup days, and I like reading blogs at the same time I’m sitting down to read e-mail.
Oh, and the “Chia” thing — that came out of the brilliant mind of high school juniors: don’t expect it to make sense.
Since mid- to late- college, I’ve been using the alias “Candide”. That comes from Voltaire’s Candide, and is mainly a way to remind myself not to take myself too seriously.
