Well, it’s been a long spell since the last paktahn release. There are reasons for it but I’m just glad we got the release out. The “big feature” of the release is AUR updates which I am happy to have implemented. I wouldn’t have been able to get it done if versioning support hadn’t been [...]
I’ve been using the Postmodern library in Common Lisp to access PostgresQL databases of late and it’s been a pretty good experience. That said, I had a little trouble using LIMIT and OFFSET to get DAO objects and wanted to put an example online in case anyone else has trouble with this. Future Postmoderners, May [...]
Things have been crazy lately but I’m not here to give a full update. I will say that there’s been good with the bad, family, friends and supporters all the while and that the bad is mostly the usual bureaucratic and financial troubles that are just a part of life. I’m trying to post more [...]
The last week has been thoroughly insane in ways both good and bad. As a gift, I had my thoroughly aged Nokia 6010 replaced by a shiny new Nexus One. Much as I would’ve liked an N900 they aren’t subsidized by any carrier and so will remain out of my price range. I’ve also switched [...]
Well, it seems a lot has happened since last time. An additional lisp library for concurrency called Calispel has been released and is up on Cliki. Unfortunately, it depends on cl-jpl-utils which in turn depends on cl-rsm-queue, neither of which are on Cliki. Such is life. There are good things though, a release candidate for [...]
Last time I blogged, I was midway through midterms and just starting to work on some lisp projects. It’s hard to imagine that was only a week ago. Since then, midterms are over, I’ve realized my only difficult class is Algorithm Analysis (the nature of whose difficulty I’ve blogged about before) and become an official [...]
So, the last time I really posted a personal update I didn’t have many good things to say. I was a bit depressed. But I seem to have climbed out of that hole. Midterms are mostly over and I have a much better feel for my classes with them behind me. The only one I [...]
Over the labor day weekend, I had fun. I avoided dreary schoolwork, I played guitar, I hung out with cool people, I celebated my second anniversary with a lovely lady, I wrote code. One bit of code I worked on is a script to read in AT&T call logs and figure out the 5 people [...]
I’m hoping to get back on track with my blogging (and following other folks blogs) in the next few days. I wanted to post this code real quick though before I forget about it. I’ve had a lot of fun playing with lisp lately and have written…4 silly, small scripts in the last week. – [...]

Recently, SLIME has been acting funny. I think it’s since an archlinux update but I hadn’t had time to look into it. When I used the ~ key in the SLIME editor window (not the REPL) was causing some debugger error. So if I wanted to write a format string like “~a~%” then I was [...]
