Literary byproducts of 1 math nerd failing to avoid life's difficulties. Musings on Time Pressure. August 15, 2016. I hate doing things under time pressure, but I have to admit I do a lot more things when time pressure exists. One of the things is writing. Another is posting the things I write. They aren’t very good, but they’re better than writing that doesn’t exist. In case you forgot, I’m still posting this pretty much only because I made myself post once every weekend. August 8, 2016.

Literary byproducts of 1 math nerd failing to avoid life's difficulties. Adventures in Unicode Forensics. May 17, 2015. What do you do when you get a bunch of files like this from a zipfile?
