Blog Now Has Two Homes
As you are probably aware, I am no longer blogging here. I now have two blogs:
1. Technical Blog: www.thecodinghumanist.com/blog/
2. Biblical Studies Blog: www.archaicchristianity.com/blog/
Welcome to the blog of the coding humanist. I have now moved the blog. Please go to www.archaicchristianity.com/blog/ for the new blog.

With great haste, turn your rss feed readers to the new blog:
Yes, I know that all of you that actually know me think I can't get any more geeky, but that's just not true. Yesterday I passed the 70-536 exam, "Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 - Application Development Foundation". I r smart now.
So I FINALLY got my own copy of Visual Studio 2005 Professional, and it was a good deal too (thanks to a friend). I got some free CTP drops a while back that I played with, and beta 2, but when the real thing came out I had to stick with the Express edition at home (it was pretty nice, actually). At work, however, I spend just about all day in VS 2005 Professional. Anyway, it's nice to have my own copy. And it even came with a pretty handy book.
...lately. I have been so incredibly distracted. Back to making this my super-cool coding blog, now that I've made this split.
Anybody else having trouble having blogger ftp your entire blog to another host? I finally registered www.thecodinghumanist.com. I want to move my blog there. Blogger keeps erroring out every time I try to publish the site to the new server. It always stops somewhere in the process (sometimes as low as 1%; the highest I've gotten is in the 70% range). I find this very annoying.
It has been a while since I've posted on this blog. Sorry. I've been busy solving world hunger and inventing a cure for poison ivy.
You know what the world needs? More love? Yes. Peace? Yes. It also needs a mini-lexicon for the Oxyrhynchus papyri. There is a lot of text there and I think it could be very useful. Just taking the first bit of POxy 58 as an example, you've got στρατηγοις and ἐπιστρατηγιας. Those are districts in Egypt. Great. A little more info (that really would be inappropriate to LSJ) might be nice. Or how about ἑπτα νομων. Sure, you can see the translations in the published volume and in the Loeb translation (yes, I happened along some that even Loeb had) that the words should be understood as referring to a region named something like "Heptanomis", but a little explanation would be useful.
