Af­ter a few ag­i­tat­ed month­s... which I don't in­tend to ex­plain here, I now am in po­si­tion to post some new con­tent in Lat­er­al Opin­ion.

Hope­ful­ly, this time I will be more per­sis­ten­t. But I would­n't hold my breath, if I were you ;-)

On oth­er news, I will be 2**5 years old to­mor­row.

I mean, I suppose that is how it's called when you live for $600 a month in a million-dollar house belonging to a church. Even if you are a member of congress!

Reading miscelaneous news sites, I got here.
I have always felt assigning copyright over to the FSF (or anyone else) was a bad idea. I think that message shows why.

My Internet connection is very flaky right now (damn you, Velocom!), so working in KRsN is just no fun.

There­fore, I di­vert­ed some of the pro­gram­ming en­er­gy to­wards an old pro­jec­t, called Uqbar.

You can see a cou­ple of screen­shots here

The python shelve mod­ule is too lim­it­ing for the data­base needs of KRsN, so I'm mov­ing it to SQLite and PySQLite.

While this adds an­oth­er de­pen­den­cy, it's a small one, and the cod­ing be­comes way sim­pler. So, I'm do­ing it, be­cause fight­ing against the tools is fool­ish, and shelve was not do­ing it with­out a fight :-)
