Thanks, I have a horrible habit of saying CPU instead of PC since my brain thinks "ComPUter=CPU", even though I know the distinction. You're right about it sounding like a newbie blog: there's no technical content (yet! I just wanted to get something up), and I've added explanatory stuff for things every real programmer should know. Instead of catering to everyone, I should choose an audience and write specifically for that. I know nothing I have written will be front-page of HN, but you gotta start somewhere, and for me taking the inital step is the hardest. I'm not Asian. What makes you ask?

hah - I had a high school teacher (~20 years ago - she taught the computer class) and she constantly called the entire box a 'cpu' too - a few of us gave her grief for it but it was all in good fun. BTW I think your blog looks clean, good luck with it. Getting to the front page on HN isn't that hard, it's only a matter of time if you keep submitting. Oh yeah - and definitely make separate pages for each blog post like rangerranvir mentioned - absolutely essential.

  Glad I'm not the only one, I may have picked it up somewhere. And thanks for the encouragement! Yeah, I didn't realize that at all until he pointed it out. I will definitely need a way to share a link to a specific post...
