PSA: Hard disk crash (2025-02-06)
A hard disk with the site sources crashed some months ago. I will be back, though. Updated 2025-02-08.
Missing Articles (2023-04 – 2024-04)
There are still articles missing here, see here for the causes, which will have to reconstructed from the rendered HTML.
The Lisp Diaries, Issue 2 (2023-07-17)
Developing CL-TEST. An emacs interface for CL-TEST. Testing with eight Common Lisp implementations. And problems loading NAMED-READTABLES with MKCL.
Romulan now supports CLIs without sub-commands (2023-04-30)
Command line interfaces essentially can be classified in three types. Romulan so far provided only the possibility to define interfaces with subcommands ("git style"). With release 1.1.1 Romulan also allows to define simple command line interfaces (without subcommand).
Releasing Romulan 1.0.0 (2023-04-16)
I am hereby releasing the first version (1.0.0) of Romulan. It is a declarative interface for the Common Lisp command line parser clingon.
Releasing Sbcl-Script 1.0.1 (2023-04-09)
I am hereby releasing the first version (1.0.1) of sbcl-script. Sbcl-Script is not a big thing, just a tiny script written in Steel Bank Common Lisp which can be used in a hash-bang line to run a Common Lisp script.
Releasing Orxite 1.0.1 (2023-04-05)
I've released Orxite — my static site generator based on Emacs and Org-Mode — as already promised three days ago. The source is available on Gitlab and on Github.
Blogging with Emacs, Org-Mode, Make and Lisp (2023-04-02)
This blog is a static web-site. For the last year I have been using Hugo to build the HTML-pages, but I have become more and more dissatisfied with the results for various reasons. My solution was, to roll my own static site generator.
The Lisp Diaries, Issue 1 (2023-03-05)
Some months ago I started learning Common Lisp, strictly privately, though, since my day job has no use for Lisp. Some very basic ideas where I want to go with Lisp.
Releasing cl-simple-utils 1.0.0 (2023-02-12)
Today I have released my first Common Lisp package.
