The archives contains a bunch of posts I wrote between 1997 and 2011. The earliest posts from 1995 til 1997 are lost to time, and the site was mostly dormant from 2011 until 2025. As I've been rebuilding it, I've gone back and re-read all of these posts, and well, there's a lot of cringe in there. I'm a very different person now than I was when I wrote most of these. I was a hardcore Libertarian for most of that era, and very much into writing the edgy kinda stuff meant for pure shock value (twas a popular comedic form for quite a while, and good old autistic me jumped right on that bandwagon!) So yeah, lots of cringe-worthy shit in here that really doesn't reflect my views anymore. Still, it shows just how much I've changed over time, so I'm leaving it all here. The good, the bad, and the (sometimes very) ugly.
Oh, and I didn't save everything when I rebooted the site, the stuff omitted was mostly a bunch of old site news that wasn't particularly useful as it was just me ranting about whatever CMS I'd written that weeek to power my site. Yeah, I seriously rewrote the site engine a lot, LOL.

Well, I have finally come to my senses. I am tired of all of the quirks and issues with Linux, and am switching to Windows. In the next few weeks, I'll be moving my websites onto a new server running Windows Server 2008, and replacing Zimbra with Exchange. It will be such a relief to not have to mess with command lines and configuration files. Read the rest to find out more.

And now one for those who say Perl 6 isn't the coolest thing since sliced bread. I've been reading the Perl blogosphere, and found a couple of posts that show off some what happens when you convert an advanced Perl 5 program into Perl 6. The results are definitely amazing.

I was recently reading an interview on a blog, and came across this answer to the question: "What's more important? Principle or pragmatism?" Check out the article, as the answer given by Jeroen Vermeulen is brilliant!

Geesh, the comments on this article, make me realize how pedantic (and pathetic) sounding a lot of my fellow geeks are. Sorry to tell you this, but for the large majority of the non-geek world, a virus is any form of malware that infects computers, regardless of its fundamental nature. The average Joe would look at your comments and say, "Worm? Trojan? Malware? I don't know what those are, but stop sending me viruses in my e-mail!"

Yes, it's true, Shade and jargon have been updated! It's amazing. In the case of Shade, I have now finished Volume I. It didn't end quite the way I thought it would, but that's okay. In the case of jargon, well, it's working on the path to 500 strips! On September 15th of this year, jargon will celebrate it's 10th anniversary. I'm hoping that some time before that, it will celebrate it's 500th comic strip :-) Anyway, more updates coming soon.

This is the first chapter of a series I plan to write which will overlap into many of the categories on this site. The Omnique Way, is going to outline my political, social and philisophical views, including topics like The Ablen Society, the Om'ara Programme, Librecratic political theory, and the Omnique Protocol. In this first chapter, we look at the idea of Voluntary Society, and how such a society would work.

So, for the last few months, I've been playing with Perl 6. I know, it's not ready for production use yet, and probably won't be for a while, but it's still fun to play with. This article isn't really an introduction to Perl 6, nor an in depth review. It's more of my feelings about it so far, and why I think Perl 6 rocks.

Well, last year was quite a year. I'm sure you could probably tell based on how many updates this site got in it.
However, I'm back, and it's time to review what made it such an interesting time.
