About this blog...

As this is the first post I guess that I should say something about this blog. It is intended to be a low bandwidth blog, with I hope a high signal-to-noise ratio, devoted mainly to the following topics: game development, C++ programming, mathematics, physics, GNU/Linux, science fiction and fantasy (TV/films/books). I'm planning on discussing various game related techniques, giving advice on writing robust code in C++ and I may review any SF/F books or films that are worthy of comment. Anyway we'll have to see how it develops. The title of the blog, by the way, is a play on the phrase "The Ghost in the Machine".
