I discovered Prolog in my youth, and logic has been something of an addiction ever since - not always, I suspect, a particularly useful one.

Lately, though, I have found what may be an antidote in Emacs, Lisp, and functional programming.

Then again, perhaps I have merely traded one elegant addiction for another.

Chat groups, instant messaging and other ephemeral communication channels are eating emails, and this isn't good.
