Whitespace
What is Whitespace? Most modern programming languages do not consider white space characters (spaces, tabs and newlines) syntax, ignoring them, as if they weren’t there.

Whitespace is a language that seeks to… Continue reading Whitespace
99,999 Innocent Bystanders Spammed
“If only one out of every 100,000 people responds to spam and the spammers earn around $11, spamming is profitable. The other 99,999 people who don’t respond, who never respond, are innocent bystanders. That’s because the cost of spam is so low. But it’s not free.” More after the jump…

More Room for my Junk
I just recently purchased two Maxtor 120GB drives (ATA/133, 8MB Cache) and some CoolerMaster CoolDrive 3’s. I’m very excited about getting them installed!
