Reviving the blog

An even two years after my last post, I figure it's about time to get this thing started again. Especially while I'm studying in Berkeley, I have a lot to say -- too bad I've left it so late that I only have about two weeks left... well I'd better hurry up and post some stuff then.

Apologies that there will be a mix of current stuff (eg QCon this week) and old stuff in no particular date order. I'm sure you can work things out, and anyway I don't think I'll be saying anything so cutting edge that the dates actually matter.

Enjoy, here's two at least a few posts before the next two-year gap...
