<p>I&#39;ve always been half hearted about blogs. I still am. Well, ye
+ah sort
of. However I&#39;ve started writing one, with a much irregular freque
+ncy, but
who cares? Of course, it <em>had</em> to have <code>perl</code> in the
domain name: in fact <a href="http://use.perl.org/~blazar/journal/">it
+&#39;s at
use Perl</a>. And I&#39;m writing more ore less anything that springs 
+to mind.</p>

<h2>Old stuff</h2>

<p><small>(The following is all that was here before I added the secti

above. Not much, eh?)</small></p>

<p>No, there&#39;s nothing here yet. You&#39;ll find something more, b
+ut not too much,
<a href="http://mosquito.scumm.it/~blazar/">here</a>.</p>

and

$ perl -MO=Deparse,-p -MLWP::Simple -e 'print get "http://blazar.perlm
