No entry about categories? I could (try and) write one if anybody's interested.

Sure, if you write something, and post a link here, I'd love to check it out! Are you talking about the concept of categories in general, or something specific that I might not have heard of?

Well, a 'category' is a precisely defined mathematical object, if this is what you mean. The related theory is terribly abstract at first sight until you come up with a few examples. It took me some time to get used to it actually. Still, I can't really say I'm 'used to it', for it's not really the domain I work in, but as an occasional visitor, well, I find it kinda funny.
