[Haskell-beginners] haskell for system administration

[Erik Johnson]

Hi Mike,

I'm a little late to this thread but wanted to let you know it looks like
Google Code changed the location of your project (URL). I've pasted the
correct location inline.
Thanks for this info., it looks helpful.

By the way, I like the play on the name (ie. "Eddie" + "Haskell").

Erik
