Hey, who's the one writing the blog, us or you?! :)


But seriously, I read it because of the occasional random fun links, as well as the interesting things on programming languages and other computer science type stuff.

I read your site because of your interesting perspective on programming languages. If I were looking for a purely technical perspective, L:tU and others would be near the top of the list, but it's far more interesting to see your introspective examinations of your own programming habits. Also, you've got a wealth of knowledge about things in which I'd not previously been interested, so reading your posts about these topics fosters enthusiasm and offers tantalizing new information.

What would I like to see more of? Well, I understand that you tend towards writing about work, personal coding thoughts and occasionally liberal politics, but there are very few purely personal entries on your site. It's always interesting to read what you think, but it would also be interesting to read what you think. I understand that this may not be the intended focus, but hey - you asked! Also, how are your personal coding projects coming along? How about your academic efforts?

What's getting old? I'm certainly not tiring of your posts; rather, the restrictions placed upon your posting topics are probably the most irritating thing about your site right now, and that's not something you can just decide to change.

Your blog is one of the very few high quality blogs that deal with non-web or Microsoft-centric programming. I hear words like "C", "UNIX" and "Perl" in your blog. This is a good thing. :)
