This is the personal weblog of Moss Collum, a programmer living in Boston, MA. I used to have a description here of what I tend to blog about, but whenever I try to nail down a few main topics, I end up getting interested in something else. If you want to know what to expect, browsing the recent archives should give you some idea.
If you've found this page through Google, I hope it helps. The search tool may help find the exact post you're looking for. If you want to see what I've posted lately, you can go to the front page of the blog.
If you're someone I know, you probably already know about this blog and come here regularly, but if not, please leave me a note: chances are I'd be delighted to hear from you.
If you want to contact me, you can email me at gmail (where my address is my first name dot my last name), or just leave a comment here.
Note that the "Bloglet" of my page title is the Perl script I use for my blogging, not the other, better known Bloglet.
The * is a convention used by linguists to indicate a sentence that a native speaker would not consider grammatical.

What I would have said to Julia just now if she was upstairs:
I daresay you'll want some tea with dinner, so let me go ahead and put the kettle on.
What the language module of my brain appears to now believe I should say when she gets upstairs:
* I daresaid you'd want some tea with dinner, so I went ahead and put the kettle on.
