In line with the recent update to Fill in the Blanks, most features on the site should now be usable on mobile devices.

As of v1.2.2*, the Fill in the Blanks ("FitB) game should now be playable on desktops, phones, and terminals.

I once found that I couldn't make a forum post without editing it multiple times shortly thereafter. This gave me inspiration for my signature, to be put at the bottom of all my posts: "Subject to editing". Today's article is about the mutability of gPress.

It's easier to make puzzles when you don't have to. After I introduced a feature which allows FitB to repeat old puzzles, I left off making new ones and allowed it to rotate through the ones I'd made. Now, though, we've done some work on this neglected area of the site.

I have the bad habit of not updating the website when I'm working on a project. Since I'm not the fastest programmer in the world, that means that for larger projects, some time may go by without visible signs of life. However, I'm pleased to announce that after months of intermittent work, my latest project, The Hunt, is good enough for public use.

In my previous article, I gave a list of criteria to help choose a Linux distribution. In this post, I summarize how distributions pass or fail these tests and reveal my preference.

The power to choose is a good thing, so long as you are choosing right. That has become difficult for most people in the Linux world, where there is a bewildering range of possibilities, and the advice you get, instead of narrowing things down, re-emphasizes the great quantity of your options. It's no wonder that people who might be interested in trying an alternative operating system never start. In this two-part series, I will present a list of some of the factors that I considered in choosing a distribution, and show my reasoning process in action.

After a long break in visible activity, I'm pleased to announce the arrival of a new feature, Plus-Minus, which will hopefully be a stepping stone towards more complex works and interesting activities on this page.

Is President Biden worse than Nero?

I looked for a great Tic-Tac-Toe variant, and managed to stumble across it, thanks to the famous article on Math with Bad Drawings.
