Software

This is yet another incomplete page. Hopefully it will soon have info on Elk, Guile (though there is some info available on my programming page for both of these), Gnome, and a buncha other stuff.

My software

All that's here right now is an old Elk extension module for svgalib that I wrote about a year or so ago. The code has just been vegetating on my hd, and I won't guarrentee that it works, but for all those bold people who are interested, you can get it here. Regardless of what the license may or may not say, it's public domain. I have absolutely no plans of doing anything more with this, since programming with SVGALib under Linux is a dubious practice, at best (although, with ggi and an SVGALib compatable interface to libggi, this could become more useful in the future). Also, since I'm mostly spending time working on guile, I'm not terribly concerned about elk. Dems da breaks.

The documentation is incomplete, I can't actually remember what you need to compile it (there might be some instructions inside :P).

Also, I have some stuff for angband at my angband page.

What I'm working on

A few of the things that I'm lending some attention to, screwing around with, or otherwise dreaming about in an active way:

• A new generational gc for guile. I'm still ironing out the implementation details. I hope to have some notes up by the end of this weekend (Oct 25 or 26). Update: the notes are up, and a variety of other things at my guile page.
• A lint for scheme... this is trudging along at a snail's pace. I'm trying desperately to avoid implementing a semi-prolog in scheme, to make handling of the hairier scheme special forms "neat" :)
• More software webpages for the GNU project. I finally remembered to finish the Emacs pages (take a look at the gnu site, particularly under the news section *grumble*)
• Angband stuff. I've been thinking about a major enhancement involving python... A little update... Keldon Jones has recently released a programmable angband variant called (surprisingly enough) pangband, using python. So I guess I'll just tinker with that ;)
• Making gcl (GNU Common Lisp) compliant with the ansi standard. I've only done some package & loop work yet, and I'm also documenting the internals of the thing (more so that I don't forget them, but it should be useful to anyone who wants to pry at the guts). It's a (really) backburner sort of thing, and I'd recommend that anyone who wants a lisp that's actually being actively worked on to check out CMUCL. There's a link from my programming page.

When you get to the bottom you go back to the [TOP] of the slide.

What's with this lumpy crap?
