- 2008-07-10: The Library of America is issuing its second volume of Philip K. Dick novels on July 31. The first volume was terrific.
- 2008-07-11: In response to @easternblot’s post, “I get it: the entire exercise of writing a PhD thesis is to learn that you don’t know anything. I keep finding new things I didn’t know.”: @easternblot Writing a paper can have the same result as writing a thesis; you find out what you don’t know, then do additional experiments.
- 2008-07-12: In response to @codinghorror’s post “A day where I have to write PHP code: not quite as bad as a day where I have to write Perl code. But on the whole, still not good.”: I’m on the other end of the spectrum from @codinghorror on using Perl. I work quickly and cleanly with Perl, but C# gives me the horrors.
