what you might see here

I plan to use this blog to post my thoughts about my current non-work-related projects, whatever they may be at the time. Currently, I'm interested in the following:

• The Parrot Virtual Machine. I'm creating a small language I call Simple Parrot Test Language (SPTL), and writing a compiler to translate SPTL to Parrot's PIR code.


• The jQuery JavaScript Library. I've just started looking into this, and it might be a little while before I post about it.


• The new SearchMonkey API from Yahoo! I don't know what all can be done with it, but I'd like to try it out.


• A project I hope to start this summer, tentatively called WishList. More information on this later.

I also plan to post occasionally on my non-computer (but somewhat related) interests such as chess, logic puzzles, and game theory. Posts that are more opiniony will appear on my other blog, it seems to me...
