Miscellany

  • I need to get new glasses.
  • My PB 17" has developed the infamous white spots, so I need to take it into the Apple Store for repair.
  • I upgraded my RH 9.0 laptop and RH 7.3 desktop to Fedora Core 1. Very nice distro so far. I am so loving yum.
  • I pulled out my Newton 2.1k, got a copy of Noguchi WaveLAN, and now have it up and running on wi-fi. NCU is working. UNNA is a great Newton resource. I grabbed NTK off the net and am learning some NewtonScript - I've been feeling the need for a project that's completely for fun. No work relevance whatsoever. Now I have it. I am working through Programming the Newton Using Macintosh and it's interesting. NTK works fine under Classic on OSX.
  • I've also been doing some Lisp programming. I've always thought Lisp a pretty cool language. I've used it for a long time in bits in Emacs. I bought Paul Graham's ANSI Common Lisp and am working through that as well. Also discovered some Lisp weblogs like lemonodor.
  • PyObjC. Python has really come into its own. It's at the critical mass now that Perl was in 1995. Which puts Perl where C was in 1995.
