I'm trying to use Haskell for a database app, and, as usual for Haskell, I'm finding the lack of decent documentation a real pain...

A personal analysis of Beryl's usefulness.

A combination of bugs in KDE/Samba/Feisty makes the simple task of configuring Samba to share a folder (in this case to share it with myself, for the benefit of some virtual machines) much harder than it ought to have been

My results on the O'Reilly's code quiz...

Why Haskell's 'Maybe' totally pwns Python's 'None' and null pointers.

This was a badly written attempt at satirising moral relativism, which I've decided to remove.

A rant about how annoying programming in C# is, really.

Get Internet Explorer 7 :-)

An attempt to explain monads and their usefulness in Haskell, assuming only some simple knowledge of Python.
