Forever Unemployed

I recently interviewed for a job in Boston, in which I would get to work with Shae Erisson (shapr) and Edward Kmett, which would be a wonderful treat, of course. But I turned it down after it was described to me. My reasoning at the time was that it was too formal and [...]

Downtime over, hopefully

It has been almost a month since I’ve had something to post about. So here is something to fill the awkward silence.
Most of my life has been filled by my new love, Anna. This may explain why my productivity has gone down, but not why it has stopped completely. A recent study [...]

Update

It has been a little while since I posted anything. So here’s a general update about my work and other aspects of my life.
I’ve been passively thinking about Dana, but not doing very much significant. I have abandoned the RTS language on the grounds that it is too hard for my little mind [...]

Education (two senses)

Woo! This is post #500!
Recently I had the realization that I don’t want to be a professional programmer. I just made a commitment to program professionally for a while in Belgium, in Haskell, doing FRP (yeah, pretty freaking awesome!), and I’m not about to bail on that. But after that job has [...]

Originally Flow belonged to Namaste, and now that he has moved away it’s unclear who the owner is. It’s almost like she belongs to this house.
I had my music program open on my computer and was about to start [...]

C’est la vie

A comment arrived a few minutes ago asking for details of the life flux I mentioned in passing here. I was messing with my blog and had to restore from backup, so I lost the original comment. Sorry, whoever you were.
Back in December a message arrived on haskell-cafe announcing a Haskell job opportunity [...]

Alien Nation

I’m giving a guest lecture on Haskell to the Principles of Programming Languages class at CU tomorrow. That’s pretty exciting.
This is a personal entry, by the way. I found myself censoring my posts for a while to just technical issues in order to build a base of readers. But then this blog [...]

Space

The Saturday before yesterday, I attended a LAN party at my friend Ian’s house. I didn’t end up playing any games though, because when I got there everybody was playing DotA, which I’m not too fond of. Instead I just did some programming. Then, to my surprise, two girls walked in [...]
