Static Executables with SBCL v2
It's taken me much longer than I hoped, but I finally have a second version of my patches to build static executables tested and ready to go!

Seagate Barracuda Ramp Weakness (2016)
During a recent RAID 5 recovery attempt, John made an interesting discovery inside the two failed disks.

Writing a Clojure highlighter from scratch
In the aftermath of my previous blog post about using Nextjournal's clojure-mode for better highlighting, I tried optimizing the JS output and got a look at the internals of CodeMirror 6 . I realized that writing a Clojure highlighter from scratch wasn't that hard if you had the right tools at hand:

My experiments with sprouting legumes
Recently, I have been on a ‘sprouting’ spree!! Why all this interest in sprouting suddenly? Remember my post on Moong Dal that proved sprouting reduces gas-forming and other anti-nutrients?
