## log

  * Here is the first post made to my Wordpress in an automated way…
  * I guess here is where I put "Hello, world" and for once it's actually kind of accurate because the post is going where the world can see it. 
  * So, uh, _Hello, world_
  * Well, damn, my program has a bug that makes it impossible to post more than one entry per day. It's a very obvious bug, too.

  * [http://www.tanashabitat.com/](http://www.tanashabitat.com/) (Tana's Habitat - a site Jane recommended for useful information about living on your own. It looks far more suited to her gender than to mine, but it still has some good advice.)

  * [Perl 6](http://dev.perl.org/perl6/) has two main interpreters: 
    * [Rakudo Perl](http://rakudo.org/) which uses [Parrot VM](http://www.parrot.org/) and PGE 
    * [Pugs](http://www.pugscode.org/) which uses [Haskell](http://haskell.org/) (and [Hugs](http://haskell.org/hugs/) or [GHC](http://haskell.org/ghc/)) 
  * Stuff about [Erlang](http://erlang.org/) I should remember: 
    * shared-nothing, async message passing 
    * single assignment 
    * strict or eager evaluation (as compared to lazy evaluation like in Haskell)

  * [http://www.truly-free.org/](http://www.truly-free.org/) - The Burgomeister's Books, a large library of ebooks; you have a borrowing quota but items are downloadable and in open formats
