About this weblog
This is my weblog and personal web page together. My main aim is to include information about my research and teaching at the University of Athens. Computer Science theorists do not seem to maintain weblogs (yet). I know only of Lance Fortnow’s weblog.
You can use the menu on the left to navigate and select topics. Especially for classes, the entries do not appear automatically. To see them, please select from the menu “Classes” or search.

for now). Can you see how?

About Weblogs
A weblog is essentially an online diary. The author of the weblog posts articles called blogs on a web page. This is done usually in reverse chronological order.
Many weblog sites allow readers to write comments or replies on weblogs. These are called writebacks. You can read the writebacks to my postings or add a writeback by folowing the appropriate link at the end of my postings.
A similar concept is trackbacks. In this case readers post replies on their own weblog not on the original weblog. To connect a reply with the original weblog they leave a trackback. In other words, trackbacks are similar to short writebacks of the form “a reply to this blog has been posted on site …”.
As a weblog evolves, it is useful to have a fixed reference to each blog that does change over time. These are called permanent links.

About Blosxom
Blosxom is a perl script for publishing weblogs. It is very extendable by many useful plugins written by the blosxom community —some of them employed in this website.
The author writes the weblongs as text or html files and blosxom creates the web pages automatically. One of its nice features is that the author can maintain the weblogs in a directory tree which reflects the categories or topics.
You can find more about blosxom on its website.
