## log
|
|
|
|
* Here is the umpteenth 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_
|
|
* Did I fix my idiotic bugs yet?

## links,blogs
|
|
|
|
* [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.)

## notes,technobabble
|
|
|
|
* [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)
|
|
* Stuff about Smalltalk I should remember:
|
|
* ["Messaging" is more important than "objects"](http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/1998-October/017019.html)

## books
|
|
|
|
* [The Burgomeister's Books](http://www.truly-free.org/), a large library of ebooks; you have a borrowing quota but items are downloadable and in open formats
|
|
* [The story of stuff](http://www.storyofstuff.com), a flash video Joc sent me; it's kind of long but worth the watch

## comic
|
|
|
|
* [This Modern World](http://thismodernworld.com/) by Tom Tomorrow - a webcomic and blog I first came across in Citybeat, but came across by accident later
