HOPE
Tabling at The Last
HOPE was a blast, kind of unexpectedly. I didn't go to
any of the talks (although I got to see Jello Biafra's
lengthy, meandering keynote on the big projector), but the
FSF raised, well, I don't know if it's appropriate to
discuss... but it was a lot. And we got a surprising number
of requests for ladies' t-shirts.
Shout-outs are due to Matt, Ringo, and Thomas. ...And,
grudgingly to Club-Mate.

SCSS
After almost a year, SCSS 0.3.1 is out. This release
features a full-scale code cleanup / reorganization, as well
as major changes that improve portability and performance --
the lexer was rewritten by hand, and the pseudo-element
handling no longer requires you to manager the style cache
yourself. Huge!

SRFI-89
With encouragement from Ludovic, I spent nearly a month (of
evenings and weekends) trying to write a more efficient
pure-Scheme implementation of SRFI-89, and...
failed. In the process, though, I learned a fair amount
about Guile's handling of macros and lexical environments.
I'm confident Guile will wind up with an SRFI-89
implementation in the near future; it'll just look pretty
familiar.
