Not much publicly postable source code written in the last while. Currently fooling around with McCLIM, in the feeble hope that it will make writing a lisp GUI front-end (instead of an existing web UI front-end) for my book database. I started out with the intention of writing it in CL, but at that point in time MySQL and CLSQL were not entirely happy. Thanks to UFFI, things are now much better.

For those who like the roundabout ways programming projects "come home" to their original language, I first took a stab at debugging a blank perl file. It was moderately functioning, but my perl is weak. About as weak as a dead, floogy, soggy stick of celery in fact. So I rewrote it in Python (that's the version I'm using for accessing and updating the db at the moment). Soon, hopefully, I should have a nicely integrated application, instead of a set of semi-coherent web pages, written in the language I had originally intended to write it in in the first place.

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.
