Greetings, you horny bastards

Yesterday’s deci­sion to track http_referers turned out to be pretty bad. I some­how for­got what my name — and domain name — means to the span­ish audi­ence, and this is pretty much why every­body come here… So now I don’t … Con­tinue read­ing

Belly up for DAGEN?

If these peo­ple don’t suc­ceed, I’m sure DAGEN them­selves will. I’ve been think­ing for a while now about what to think of DAGEN and despite my exite­ment about a new paper (any new papers) which is always nice, I have … Con­tinue read­ing
