Why ``The Blog'' ?
This can be interpreted in two ways: why the name, and why write this.
``The Blog'' is a wordplay on ``The Blob'', the name of the most popular game I wrote as a teenager. This was a game that ran on Commodore Pet machines, and was written in Commodore Basic.
Why write this? I don't aim for this to be a track-my-day blog. What I really need is a place to keep track of ideas (for projects, papers, etc), links to interesting work, and so on. Instead of using raw HTML, or ad hoc XML, it seemed better to give a try to blogging software.
