my efficiency epiphany
Thursday, June 17th, 2004
i found myself sitting in an exam once again today, the subject was languages and compilers. quite a hard one, but clocking in at a mere 90 minutes.

the prolog of speaking
Wednesday, April 7th, 2004
while reading some bits and pieces about prolog on the web in order to motivate myself into revising what i already know ready for my exams, i came across the Lojban language.
