Long time no diary.
I've been working like a slave recently, so I couldn't do much for cmucl or sbcl. I've noticed the work of crs on the vector operations... impressive!
My love with logical-pathnames has come to an abrupt end now that it turns out that none of the big commericial players got the implementation right. It has no sence trying to get them in line with an obviously broken spec. I think the URI idea is the right solution, but it will take some hacking before adsf+URI is working enough to replace mk:defsystem+LPN :-(. Soo much to do and almost no time...
Recently we went by car from Wilrijk (Belgium) to Napoli (Italy). Impressive. Especially the difference in drivers is noticiable... Also very impressive if you see the Brenner tunnel you went through closed due to a small disaster :-(
I really should get a job in Naples: better weather, better food, nice in-laws...
10 weeks and counting down...
