Lisp book sightings

Saturday, 14-Apr-2007 4:09 P GMT-04
It's always nice to see Lisp books just sitting there ready for other people to snap them up. In Borders this evening I saw PG's ANSI Common Lisp and Peter's Practical Common Lisp in-and-among the Ruby books.

Cool memory allocation discussion.

What's a good remote agent?

What's a good remote agent? A Perl module? mosref? Something else?

Listener shell infrastructure II

Thursday, 12-Apr-2007 9:58 P GMT-04
I got the basic "run a command and send me the output" working. Now I have to make some design decisions (and write some more code, of course). Obviously(?) I want to do as much of the heavy lifting as possible on the Lisp side and leave the remote

blog-city.com support

Thursday, 12-Apr-2007 12:45 P GMT-04
Kudos to blog-city.com support. I just had a flurry of emails with Mayoress about the timestamps and sort ordering of my blog entries. She was quick, understanding, and helpful.

Progress made on the Listener shell infrastructure

Thursday, 12-Apr-2007 12:08 P GMT-04
As I mentioned ... somewhere else, I think, I want to build a mode that lets me run shell commands (on local or remote systems) directly from the listener window.

If I ever write a Lisp ...

Wednesday, 11-Apr-2007 5:36 P GMT-04
... I'll call it "Slip", as in "Slip Lisp", just so everyone else can experience the joy of my dyslexic fingers. And then I can write a web server called Slide, and we'll have Slip and Slide. And then I'll probably get sued by Wham-O or somethi

Three bugs reported to Lispworks yesterday, all (mostly) solved today, with a single config change.

Wednesday, 11-Apr-2007 5:13 P GMT-04
Yesterday I reported three bugs to Lispworks (mentioned here). Wade Humeniuk suggested I might have a problem with Lesstif. I switched to Open Motif and most of my problems went away.

Stable Lispworks

Wednesday, 11-Apr-2007 12:56 P GMT-04
Wow, LW is so much more stable using Open Motif (than Lesstif) it's just, well, very nice. :)

Lispworks Pro ordered. Let the adventure begin.

Tuesday, 10-Apr-2007 8:28 A GMT-04
I ordered Lispworks Pro this morning. Let the adventure begin. I also added a comment to Dave Fox's entry at the CL Directory: Dave Fox at least occasionally personally answers the phones at Lispworks: he took my order for Lispworks Pro. May

Lispworks Pro license agreement

Tuesday, 10-Apr-2007 8:26 A GMT-04
Except from an email I sent to Lispworks: Unlike many license agreements, I read most of yours. I'm glad I did, because this part struck me as very generous: This license also allows for one additional Installation on a portable computer prov

Going over to the dark side - Emacs

Monday, 9-Apr-2007 8:27 A GMT-04
The more I worked on adding Lisp to Vim (see other posts about SLIMPL and Slim-Vim and Vim+ECL and so forth), the more I disliked the Vim internals, and the more I felt like I was just re-implementing Emacs, in which case why not just use Emacs?
