When you can think at day and sleep at night, people call itbad weather.

I just released CL-EMB 0.4.1 andCL-WIKI 0.0.2. CL-WIKI usesthe latest release 0.6.0 of CL-WHO for whichI've supplied some patches. CL-WHO now canproduce old school HTML. Versions below 0.6.0 just generate XHTML. There are several wikis for almost every web aware programming language.Wikipedia has aList of wiki software.The sad thing about that list: There's just one wiki engine forCommon Lisp at the moment. That's why I have started the project CL-WIKI.Very, very simple at the beginning....

Released version 0.3.0 of CL-EMB. One ofthe new features are generator loops. On every iteration agenerator function is called.See the announcement for more information.

(Not a very inventive title. :-) I'm playing World of Warcraft. It's myfirst MMORPG andI'm not the only newbie in this game. Some things are very strange. One of them are the other players. You can help themwhen they have problems. You can group together to complete quests. But you can'tmake them change their name after they've invested days into the character they play. It's a fantasy game. But you can see names you would expect in Quake or Unreal Tournament....

The Netscape 8.0 Beta browserwas released on 2005-03-03. I've tried it a bit and must say that it's not asbad as expected. I won't use it myself. But this could be the right alternative for people whostill use the Internet Explorer. Some of them still only know two browsers: Netscapeand Internet Explorer. And with its very nice security features Netscape 8.0 really hitsthe nerve of many frustrated IE users who are still afraid to upgrade....

Edi Weitz released TBNL 0.3.12 two days ago (announcement).It now has a special variable *HTTP-ERROR-HANDLER* (defaults to NIL) which can hold a function designator to an error handler for HTTP errors like the 404 Not Found error. In the following example a simple error handler just handles the 404 error. Every other error returns NIL and TBNL takes over. The function could emit some explanation about the site's structure or just show the wrong part of the URL and make fun of the visitor....

Today version 0.8.20 of SBCLwas released. Muchwas done and there was some discussion on the list when to turn to version number 0....

John Wisemancalled it Stefan's sorta weblog when mywebsite was just a simple collection of notes. It had the main features of a realweblog, though. But now it is a real weblog. In its early stage — as I'm writing this entry.I've "migrated" some of the old notes and turned them into entries. Stay tuned for more stuff aboutmore than just Common Lisp. I promise entriesthat don't mention CL-EMB! :-)

Don't eat yellow snow!

Today was update day. CL-EMB 0.2.1, TBNL 0.3.4, mod_lisp 2.41, and SBCL 0.8.17. TBNL has fileupload now (since 0.3.1) and there aren't (m)any missing features left. Current versions of mod_lisp must be optained directly from the subversion repository. SBCL now has unicode support. But be careful and test your code!
