About

This blog is a place where I can write about computer programming.

It’s that simple.

I want to write about computer programming, and here I shall.

I have a blog (Logos con carne) where I write about… stuff, opinions, life,… whatever. But programming is too specific (and too technical) a topic for that blog. (It’s hard enough getting people to read science or math posts; computer programming posts, forget about it!)

I also have a blog (Book of BOOL) where I write about a pet project I’ve been tinkering with for over twenty years. And while BOOL is a programming project (in fact, BOOL is a programming language), it’s too weird and off-beat for anyone but a father to love. That blog is just a way for me to document and publish BOOL.

Which means, if I want to write about programming, I need a new blog.

And so here we are.

This blog shall consist of stories about interesting projects I did and want to remember as well as thoughts and tips about programming based on nearly 40 years of experience doing it.

  1. Dear Wyrd,

    It seems that your blog (Book of BOOL) is defunct.

    • It’s still around, but I let the domain name expire, so the link is now BookOfBOOL.wordpress.com. (I fixed it in the text above, so thanks for noticing and letting me know.)

      It’s not much of a blog; more a place for me to document my efforts. I finally decided to give up on BOOL, and I held a five-day, five-post, wake. (See Bye-Bye BOOL and the four posts that follow it. Those five posts are actually a pretty good overview of BOOL as well as what the big issues were that ultimately killed it.)

Over to you...
