Unlike some readers, I wouldn’t call Sam Harris a ‘racist’ (religions or ideologies aren’t races) or even a bigot. He thinks he’s actually got a good argument when he calls for profiling by the TSA. On face value, his arguments might seem sound, perhaps even nearly convincing – even though there’s a nagging feeling that [...]
Read MoreSo, I was logging in to an account with my registrar today, and there was a notice saying that ‘.in’ domains were on sale for $2.48. I couldn’t resist, it is the best $3 I’ve ever wasted.

Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve had a professional blog, (back when I was working for Terra Soft and managing YDL.net in fact) and my own website was worse than terrible. It’s ironic, because I was too busy building medium and large web systems for universities, SMBs and ISPs to actually keep my own [...]
Read MoreI had a problem that I needed to solve recently, and the most elegant way to do this was with a stored procedure. However, the procedure needed to return 2 columns – an index id and a sort order. One way to tackle this is to have the plperl function called by a wrapping plpgsql [...]
