Assorted stuff

• Vidar Hokstad V2.0 - The second incarnation of my blog
• Writing a compiler in Ruby, bottom up
• Sliding Stats - Rack Middleware to give a 'live snapshot' of recent traffic to your site
• Old blog posts: I stopped writing my blog when I started working on Edgeio, and bit rot set in with my old Movable Type based blog. Here are the old archived static pages I've rescued: March 2005, April 2005
• Genealogy: My dad spent significant amount of time preparing a family tree covering many thousand relatives, including a significant number of currently living relatives in Norway and USA. If your last name is Hokstad, there is an approximately 50% chance we are related (if your name is "Hogstad" with a "g", however, it is possible but far less likely we are related). The result can be found here as a zip archive of his DBase III+ application and database. Unfortunately the proprietary DBase app makes it fairly inaccessible - I hope to export the data using dbfdump and put it on my website at some point - if you are interested in the data but can't extract it from the zip file above, feel free to contact me (vidar@hokstad.com).
