Surrounded By Bugs — new blog

This is the new home of my blog, formally known as Software is Crap. I decided it was time to stop subjecting readers to the awful mess of advertising and dubious formatting that is Wordpress, and so, here we are, a blog that is made of static HTML. Comments/discussions are handled by the Remark42 software (an instance hosted on this site's server).

An RSS feed is available.

This is very much under construction and will remain that way until I get a good handle on how to do this efficiently. In the meantime, here are the few so-far ported-from-wordpress blog entries:
