Hooray.

After much struggling, fufie managed to get CLISP CCLANized; after just a little more struggling, I have a powerpc OpenMCL that likewise believes in CCLAN.

And Pierre Mai has really understood the point of PARTITION.

Back to the PhD...

And they did. Thanks, Pierre.

Am I whistling in the wind, though? No vendor comments, no great deal of interest, just a few ripples. Ah well. I think it's a good thing anyway.

Thinking about the specification for PARTITION and friends in Common Lisp. I believe I now have a consistent spec in my mind, so it's now a matter of updating the specification and reference implementation, and announcing this fact to the world.

At which point, of course, someone else will come up with another niggle. Such is life.

CCLAN is live. See google for the announcement. Also please go and file bugs on SourceForge.

Things do seem to be growing, which is encouraging. Now to fix the rest of my life...

Whee! 24 whole packages in cCLan.

I wonder if we are at the start of a revolution. Probably not, but it is fun...

Somehow, the Jesus College Student Union webserver has become the master site for the `Comprehensive' Common Lisp Archive Network. This is quite surprising, really; it won't last.

Now all we need is some more code.

Bah. I hate undergraduates.

8 students. Two fail to hand anything in from their Easter holidays, one has done the wrong paper, and two fail to turn up to the supervision. Sometimes I wonder why I still care.

Ah well. More musing about cCLan, but not much doing, unfortunately. On the plus side, IRC is fun.

Sad, really; I finally succumb to the siren song of Advogato for rjain's convenience.

New Advogato Features

New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.

Keep up with the latest Advogato features by reading the Advogato status blog.
