Uploaded a quick bugfix for the newer SDL 1.2 debs, which have a number of useful patches, just before I ran out to attend a meeting of Lisp-NYC. Lisp-NYC is a fairly recent phenomenon (6 months or so): the Lisp User Group. There were about 25-30 people gathered at a bar uptown and it was interesting to meet some of the people who I had conversed with online. Maybe I should take some roadtrips this summer to other nearby cities and meet with other groups. If nothing else, I'd get some decent bar-hopping in.

2 finals done... 2 to go. Argh.

I procrastinate by working on CL-SDL, which has undergone 2 revisions (and another one soon, it seems). What this is doing to my exam grades, I try not to think about =). OpenGL in Lisp is just too much fun.

Rule of course scheduling #1:

The courses you need/want to take are not available this upcoming semester.

Rule of course scheduling #2:

Any courses that you might want to take are all in the same time-slot.

Rule of course scheduling #3:

Online registration and scheduling tools will fail mysteriously at key times.

Added yet another CL package to Debian.

Spent 10 hours working on a homework. That was pretty bad. After a while a resistance builds up and it becomes harder and harder to slog through problems; this doesn't help one bit.

Now I am looking forward to wasting many an hour watching Kenshin. It's long.

xach: See the CL package system if you haven't already. Of course, making a proper interface to your code is not necessarily easy. It usually fairly simple to load files from your implementation's init-scripts, if you want to do that as well.

shlomif: Debian has a filesystem hierarchy standard, so there is method to our madness. And Mandrake lacks APT (afaik) so they do not have the same tools ;-)
