Recent graduate, Python/Djangoist by day, Lisper by night

What I've learned: Experience is everything in this business.

Please stop me for questions whenever.

As opposed to (Scheme, Clojure, Dylan, etc...)
Don't want to get too into this, Save it for beers ;)

But: It's *NOT* all about Macros

Most importantly: Easiest way I've found to maintain flow.
EMACS + SLIME! ;; (sorry)

Added ogg+flac support in my fork

Huh, playback isn't progressing through the queue

TRACE ALL THE FUNCALLABLE THINGS! ;; (within-reason-p)

Oh, I changed the class hierarchy. (call-next-method)...

Check, Untrace, /me bows, \o/ #lisp

Any questions? Feel like walking through parse-header? Feel like disassembling it?
