Things have been going great, I might actually be getting a patent. That is where my discussion of that issue must end. At Laurie's going away bbq, Laurie's and my family finally got together which was very nice. Laurie is going away too soon, did some more major work on send laurie to vet school.com . Steve

Robert J. Berger writes "The Ruby on Rails team announced that "After the longest gap between releases since Rails was made public and after more than 225 fixes and new features, the final major release before the 1.0 milestone has arrived." This is a major update to what is to many developers consider the new tool for developing sophisticated interactive database driven web applications. It integrates backend Model/View/Controller object-oriented model with AJAX based clients so that the developer can focus on the app and not on the details of basic mechanisms. You really can do much more with much less coding. The new release adds a completely rewritten visual effects engine, drag-and-drop capability including sortable lists, and autocompleting text fields to Rails. All building on top of an upgraded version of Prototype , the javascript foundation for Ajax in Rails ... Check out the very cool demos at script.aculo.us ."

I have been getting into lisp for a while now and wanted to learn it for years. Because of lack of open source libraries for things like soap and xml-rpc, so have been moving over to python, reduce, map, filter and lambda as some of my favorite methods of python. Now these lispish builtin methods will be removed sad to say by Guido van Rossum him self. I sent him an email and hinted that he may leave in lambda or rename it.

This new value of "keywords" will persist until the end of the CLISP session. To save your session into a file: [13]> (saveinitmem "test.mem") Under Solaris, when CLISP is started, the option -M is used to load this file: maroon 45: clisp -M "test.mem" http://www.cs.queensu.ca/home/cisc352/elizaCodeDiscussion.html http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes.html Got it to work with (dribble "file.out") found it at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/commonlisp/message/220?viscount=100 If you can run Emacs, then you can type escape x shell turn on clisp in the shell then save the whole session at the save with ctrl-x ctrl-w file.out

Okay here is the deal, can't remember how to surpress output from bash commands that are run, if anyone remembers please let me know. Example: #!/bin/sh pushd ../ Output: ~ ~/user ~/user/scripts not the biggest worry in the world but if you know the answer I would be much obliged.

Took 3 months and $150 dollars but I now own the seminal book on advanced lisp, can't wait to read it.

Does any one in the world have this book? I am willing to buy it for as much as $150 Title:On LISP: Advanced Techniques for Common LISP Author:Paul Graham ISBN:0130305529 PS it's availiable for free at http://www.paulgraham.com/onlisptext.html

Finance, money, gold bullion, stocks, bonds ..... money been meaning to for a long time... What you might ask, get more of it, like the capitalistic nature of america, no expand the financial information I have on my web site ....

I have opened a ing direct account a few years ago, but didn't realize till recently how awsome the site and service are. 3.00% interest a year where, citibank savings was giving .8 percent interest, it's practically triple. I like to keep my money organized , like in seperate piggy banks, ing direct in about two seconds lets you create seperate savings accounts each labeled the way you want. I have a "new laptop", "emergency", "vacation" and "new car" accounts how great is that. My life may never be the same IngDirect

Pocket Video Recorder There is ipod and then there is ArchOS . I am surprised that this hasn't caught on more, but believ e it's due to the fact that audio is the ubiquitous on the go medium. I will be doing much, much more traveling and maybe at some point I will get one. The latest ArchOS Pocket Video Recorder can tivo, play music and get the camera and video adapter. The device is in the hacker montra of the 90's "elite" http://www.archos.com

The park is pristine flowing river waters filled with trout. Deer walking walk though all parts of the forest. Even swimming otters eatting trout with fellow herons and great cranes. The park is rather peacefull and doesn't see many visitors seems like a hidden gem of long island. I have to say there is one very real problem ticks I hate them and signs all over warn you about them. Laurie and I only stayed on the trail but managed to pick up 2 ticks. We just picked them off and threw them into the forest but they are still a pain, remember your bug stray.

Laurie, I have to say is an absolutely amazing individual. She planned a day and evening no less spectacular than 4th of july in boston harbor ... 270 degree views of rolling hills of maple and the river Thames River rushing to sea. All my oldest and best friends were waiting to suprise me at a party with decorations, platters of my favorite finger foods and drinks for all. Beyond everything, laurie was there standing tall, beautifully stunning with straight golden blonde hair, sexy pink tank top and trendy white pants. How I love Laurie

Paul Graham does it again, great writer that he is I just can't get enough of his articles insightful and witty as any. http://www.paulgraham.com/hiring.html
