I got the core duo working under latest dist-upgraded ubuntu. The debian package system from my old debian days comes into work perfectly. I drank some Westmalle on saturday and watched the movie "hero wanted", don't know how it went, fell to sleep halfway. I'm on irc again. freenode on macos x , good people. I need to go out more instead of drinking alone, then again duty calls.

I am reading : "Lisp Lore : a guide to programming the Lisp Machine" and "tutorial : computer graphics", 2nd edition which is about the 1950s and onward CRTs. Lisp Lore has "Fun and games" topics pointed out to the hacker dictionary of GLS (Guy. L. Steele.)

They are both books with lots of hack value as you can see.

I am also trying out Lisp for writing a gmail mail client in emacs, I found http://weitz.de/drakma/
to be a good lisp program. It is a http client and is slower than most of my programs.
