Typo #2

Great blog!

In "Lock-Free Queue - Part I" there is a line

The pointers serve as stop-markers: the producer will not write if the head points to an entry that is immediately before the entry pointed by the head; the consumer will not read if the tail and the head are pointing to the same entry.

I believe 'head' before the semicolon should be changed to 'tail'. Like this:

Thanks for taking the time and write the issue (fixed now). I hope you enjoyed reading the post.

Thanks! Your article and the comments in the loki library where incredibly helpful with understanding the details of the atomic queue
