frequenter allatae quaestiunculae(frequently asked questions)

+ +
+Q1: Why is it "chirs241097" instead of "chris241097" in your usernames?
+A1: That was an old typo... +
+However according to the Haskell tutorial found at haskell.org, +"chirs" == sort "chris" +and is her twin nemesis. So that was an unintended, but appreciated side-effect. +
+Why did I use "her" here? I wish I had an answer for you! +
+ +
+Q2: Why do the pages on your site look so ugly?
+A2: The reason is simple but "irrefutable": I simply like this style. +
+ +
+Q3: What the hell is the favicon of your site?
+A3: Well, it's something I cobbled together in a minute, half of which was me +picking the color :). +
+ +
+Q4: Who's that character down there?
+A4: Komeiji Koishi, manipulator of the unconscious mind. +
