In a bid to improve my understanding of the boxes of plastic I work with every day, I’ve started taking an online computer science course through EdX (Harvard’s CS50–you too can share the fun!) Part of this involves programming homework in a language called C. Every geek’s reaction, when I tell them this, is basically … Continue reading

And We’re Back!
If you’ve been missing–nay, pining for–your occasional doses of the Caitiewrites blog, it’s because I’ve migrated everything over to my new blog, In a Merry Hour.
