About pook

I all too infrequently blog at http://zipwith.blogspot.com/

pookleblinky on FreeNode ( #[xmonad|lisp|zsh|emacs|conkeror|haskell|scheme|uzb|ruby|lojban|polyphasers])

I have Woz's complete inability to comprehend business, without his skill.

I am a man of little wealth, poor taste, and a huge .emacs. Furthermore, I am so depraved that I don't see anything wrong with this state of affairs.

    Everyone has great advice. I recommend learning a language or 5. Ocaml, Erlang, Lojban, Japanese, Quenya, etc. Use Mnemosyne and Smart.fm for quick, cumulative study sessions, tran…
