Like mountains? I took the Blue Ridge Parkway (and Skyline Dr) from start to end this week and took a bunch of pictures. Take a look.
...the law won, although not by as much as it could have. I'm satisfied. (Don't worry if you don't know what I am talking about.)
Adam Megacz just released WIX 1.0. Check it out. You'll never use TeX, HTML, or DocBook again. <shameless plug>And it uses LambdaVM too.</shameless plug>
For lack of anything more interesting to post... might as well hop on the bandwagon.
I just pounded this out over the last few hours. I'm sure it is riddled with typos and grammar errors but it is a start. (Note: although I claim to be "proposing" to do all this stuff, it is actually done now (LambdaVM). I'm kind of doing the bureaucratic parts of this whole thesis thing in the wrong oder.)

I setup a wiki at wiki.brianweb.net. This is mostly so I can try to coax other people into writing documentation for me since I suck at it but I'm sure I'll find other things to do with it. I threw together a few pages about LambdaVM up there
LambdaVM is no longer vaporware. A fully functional release is available at darcs.brianweb.net/ghc. For more information see the Quick-Start Guide.
GHC does not use the register return mechanism for small data constructors described in the STG paper anymore (as of GHC 4.0ish). They decided to ditch it because it was "terribly complicated to implement". Wusses...
I'm mostly posting this so hopefully someone will find it on Google before spending 2 hours learning way more than any person whose name isn't Simon should ever need to know about GHC's RTS and code generator.
I'm still going to use it in LambdaVM though. Real men use register return.
Update: Bah... looks like it isn't worth it after all. Since we can't do update-in-place in the JVM we need to use indirections which obviously require an additional heap allocation negating the benefits of register-return in every case when an updatable closure is evaluated.
Looks like I'm going to be doing my thesis on efficient translation of Haskell to JVM Bytecode. Should be interesting. Watch this space.

Big load... I know (but I'm supposidly writing my thesis, so it's ok). BTW, yes, I am alive. That is all.

My sister recently embarked on a (possibly 5 month long) journey though Ecuador and South America. Read all about it (and see some amazing pictures) on her blog and her friend Jennifer's (yes, they're both named Jennifer). I'm so Jealous
Here are a bunch of pictures from my cousin Trisha's wedding. There aren't any from the wedding ceremony but my uncle took a bunch that he'll send to me.
I'm in Waco, TX for my cousin Trisha's wedding. Here's a picture off the balcony of our hotel in the Waco ghetto (I forgot to bring my camera to the bar where all the fun happened tonight). The wedding is tomorrow, I'll probably post some pictures on Sunday.
Today I went out to Keuka Lake with my family for Father's Day. We rented a boat from a marina in Branchport and spent the day on the water. I drove the boat too. Good times.
