Spent a good portion of the day Scheming. The language was something of a mindflip at first, since most of my experience is with imperative languages, but I'm really starting to like it now. I think I'm definitely going to play with it more in the future.
Ponderings....
I'm thinking of resurecting my old popcheck program. It was a simple command line program that connected to a pop server and told you if you had any e-mail. If you did, it would tell you how many, who from, the dates they were received, and the subject lines. I'm thinking about rewriting it, as I first wrote it when I barely knew what I was doing.
I'm also considering rewriting it in alternate langauges. It was originally written in C....I'm thinking it might be fun to rewrite it in C++ and Perl. A good learning experience, and it might also be helpful for others to see how a program can be implemented in various languages.
Curious...
One thing I Just noticed about this site, is that I seem to have lost my 'certification'. Last time I was here, I was certified as a Journeyer. Now I'm not showing myself certified as anything when I check my page, and the full listing shows me as an Observer. I have a couple people who've certified me as Apprentice (people I don't even know, interestingly enough) and a few more who certified me as Journeyer. Seems odd. Everything looks like it should check out. Oh, well, prolly just a little bug or something.
