Arc - hope for the future

I have been doing research on Programming Lanuage Theory or PL Theory. Been reading a lot on Paul Graham's Site and Lambda the Ultimate. So far so good but there is a lot more reading to do. I see a lot of promise in Arc, if it's ever completed . I have big concerns about an appropriate launch and set up of Arc with a community. Also see a great need for appropriate introduction of a very good alternative option formate for Arc. Sexp are dangerous and always have been, it's not their inherent power but human consumption that is a problem. What is Arc? It's a language being developed by Paul Graham Who is Paul Graham? A popular tech essayist, entrepreneur and lisp evangelist
Reasons you should learn other languages like lisp, scheme and haskell continuations,macros,monads and method pattern matching .... just to name a few

I can't wait to see Laurie, fall is my favorite time of year and miss when I don't spend it with Laurie

Good Morning Vietnam

Another day is going by, traffic was brutal 2 hours to get to the train station to pick up my friend and coworker brent. Today I am working on data warehousing. Last night I spoke with Laurie I am so proud of her because she is working so hard studying for finals. Down side today I have a dentist appointment and am having a filling replaced with a mold.

Back in NY

I'm back. Took the standard red eye back into NY. Arrived early like 7:20 am my parents were nice enough to pick me up then I went sleep promptly at 10am. Woke up like 5pm and that was my sunday. On the upside spoke to my friend arizona.

Another Day in Southern California

Well, I am telecommuting in Southern California again, and am being quite productive with work and Laurie is staying up very late every night to fit more studying in. I am usually in bed before her for work in the morning. My arm has been bothering me again so I have been hitting the pool before work and after work. This is the first time I have been able to do this since the community pool just opened up. Evening have been okay filled with lots or reading and eating dinner with Laurie. On the reading chopping block have been Atmel AVR Programming, Assembly Language and .net Mobile Programming. Little bit diverse I guess but all embedded programming a lot more embedded than I am used to.

Atmega8 Programming Resources Using GNU GCC

Resources - Great Place to start finding information http://www.avrfreaks.net/AVRGCC/ From what I am told the best c library and environment to use with AVR's, Also been told that WinAVR is used in conjunction with AVR Libc WinAVR http://winavr.sourceforge.net/ AVR Libc http://www.nongnu.org/avr-libc/ http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/avr-libc/

Lisp IDE

If you need a lisp IDE you have 3 good choices 1) Emacs -> lots of programmers use it. 2) Slime -> recommended, live interaction with lisp run time. 3) Allegro CL IDE - Commercial Lisp Product

Good Weekend in Manhattan

I enjoyed this weekend and celebrated my mom's birthday. I went to Manhattan to treat my Mom and Dad to brunch at the boat house. Then walked around the city with my parents and friend Brent. Saw the Top of the Rock ( Much better view than Empire State Building with no lines). Other than that spent some time relaxing, watching Underworld Revolution and Studying atmel programming working on a Atmega8 Schematic. Now on to the wonderful work week

Fetotomy Defined

Well today Laurie has to do a Fetotomy in school and now am learning something new. A Fetotomy is when you have to remove a dead baby cafe from the mother cow surgically.

In Memory of the Crocodile Hunter

Me and Laurie were getting back from San Francisco and was about 4am the day Steve Irwin Died, Laurie room mate pointed it out to us. At that moment it didn't bother me very much because I was so tired. But it hit me the next day and since them has really bothered me. I am not sure if it's because he has little kids or such a giving person to the world through his conservation and teaching efforts. Either way the world lost a great man, and I wonder who will carry on his legacy. http://www.crocodilehunter.com/ The family wants people to give to his charity Wild Life Warriors if you want to give in his memory. http://www.wildlifewarriors.org.au/ RIP Steve Irwin you were a good man!

Stable

Think my cold has stableized and isn't getting worse I think that it's a good thing. But getting better is slow work.

Visiting Southern California

I love it every time I get to visit Laurie in SoCal. This time started off good, Spent time studying with Laurie. Then right after I arrived I caught a cold, I feel like dirt right now. It's so much harder being sick and telecommuting for work than being sick in the office especially because your under the gun to produce and all I want to do is crawl under a rock and die. On a brighter note, this past weekend I got to hang with an old SigEp Buddy of mine Craig Reiser I am hoping my luck will change by the end of the week Peace Steve

Lauie is back as school

It's been a long and great summer having Laurie home for the summer. I am not looking forward to another year of flying back and forth to California. Already I have bought my first two tickets to Ontario Airport on JetBlue. By the way JetBlue is great but flights are usually late just about every other trip I take to the west coast. Better get back to work.
