qblog

There are many blogs called qblog, because there are many people called q who have little imagination. This is the one which belongs to me, the person sometimes known as »Q«. I live in New Orleans, where I can usually be found drinking too much coffee and sometimes be found drinking too much whiskey.

qblog uses WordPress. Thanks to its atrocious record of unpatched security vulnerabilities, I humbly request that you please not hack qblog and I recommend against using WordPress yourself.

In case you want to e-mail me, I’ve got a contact page.

I’m not signed up with any of the so-called social networking sites. Here’s what I guess I’d put on a facebook/friendster/myspace page if there were a gun to my head:
