On April 18, 1999, I wrote "Soon I'm going to enable replies to these posts (sort of a Slashdot like system), and then you'll be able to flame and taunt to your heart's content. Fun, fun, fun." It's now March, 2003. That means that I got things done right on time, as rantings now supports comments. Everyone else was doing it, so I figured there was no reason I shouldn't. Enjoy. I'm sure I'll be refining it a bit. If you click "Linkable URL" it'll give you view_post, and you'll find the comment button there.

Eric Richardson lives in Atlanta, Georgia, where he works on payments infrastructure for Cash App.

Past lives involved streaming audio for Southern California Public Radio, running a hyperlocal news site for Downtown Los Angeles, working on custom mapping code, and writing Perl at the Jet Propulsion Labratory.
