A study of bugs

I changed the name of my blog to “A study of bugs”.

It had been called “my notes”. But that feels quite formal. It suggests there are concrete thoughts presented in them. (Maybe I feel this way because in a zettelkasten system, each note is supposed to be a self-contained bit of thought.)

In programming and debugging, I see bugs and solve them. Each bug is bewildering in its own way. Solving them problems they pose is usually a haphazard fumbling.

All I’m saying is I like this new name a lot.
