Drat. I would like to chase back up the class hierarchy of a bunch objects, and then do something based on the second-from-the-top of that chain. (For example, when the chain goes Word > Noun > Animal > Mammal > Human, and I’ve instantiated a Human, I’d like that object to be able to tell that it’s a Noun.) Unfortunately, […]

It seems like every time I try to get around to actually writing some code, I discover yet another thing that I have to do in order to make that more possible. Today, it was: Get PHPUnit installed on Lórien, so I could run my unit tests locally during development, rather than having to shove […]
Blog Integration

After a fair bit of hacking, I’ve now got the look of my blog integrated with the rest of my site. This wouldn’t normally have taken so long, except that I also had to deal with being sick and throwing a party. So I haven’t had as much time as I might like to focus […]

Just set up my new blog, with “We Got the Gun” from the soundtrack to Darren Aronofsky’s π blaring in my headphones. I’d say I was one of the last people in the world to jump on the blogging bandwagon, but I know better — you just never hear about these “mythical” people-without-blogs because… they’re not […]
