Well, it’s been a while.

Two years, actually, if you round up. I’ve decided to resurrect one of the corpses in my closet. It’s not perfect, but I’d like to delude myself into thinking that it’s better than its previous iteration.

After all, look at these flippin’ fabulous features for, uh, formatting!

We have code blocks with decent syntax highlighting:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8#include <stdio.h>

// This is stupid.
int main( int argc, char **argv ) {
    for ( int i = 0; i < 1000000; ++i ) {
        puts( "This is stupid." );
    }
}

We have footnotes1.

We have tables:

We have beautiful math typesetting2:

$$ \alpha^n(\rho,z) = \sum_{i=0}^{n}\left(\frac{\rho^{i}}{\sqrt[i]{z}}\right) $$

We have

“Typography”—features…

And we have me apologizing for doing that.

At any rate, I’m terrifically excited to embark on my brand new fully-refurbished-with-90-day-warranty blogging career, in which I will use none of these features3 as I am not an accomplished programmer, nor an accomplished mathematician, nor do I have data to present in tables.

Not that it would even matter if I were one of those things, because a mere glance at my personal track record with regards to writing things could convince someone with even the most crippling gambling addiction to bet with the odds that this won’t get updated terribly often.
