So, is Lisp still dead? How'd it go? Highlights?
Meanwhile, here's a devilishly hard Lisp puzzle: find the females. Hippy
long-hairs create a gray area, I am thinking three to five.

I didn't go, but I collected a bunch of links to blog summaries into a
metasummary at http://xach.livejournal.com/114414.html . Should be on
Planet Lisp, too.

Newsgroups are _soo_ 20th century. ;)
There have been quite a few blog postings since last week. Check out
Planet Lisp and http://ilc07.blogspot.com/

During the conference, I counted five.

Super. Can someone convert those to punch cards and ship me a deck?

Can you do magtape?

Actually, it was also the first non-homework program I wrote. Apple II
Integer Basic. Ran in 16k.
Yeah, I must still have a Walkman somewhere, send it along.

And then you can hear the bits of the data? But I think you would plug it
into a sound card and write a FFT in Lisp to demodulate it :-)

Oddly enough, somebody has already done that, in Perl, to turn
some tapes with SW for the UK-101 back into bits. I find that quite
impressive, but also slightly worrying :-)

$5 says that "SW" was a computer game.

I downloaded the decoded files, more out of curiosity than
anything else. There were quite a few games, but also other stuff,
including an assembler and an editor.
I just (re)discovered another scary thing: it *is* possible to
write useful/interesting software in a few hundred bytes on an 8-bit
processor...

I can still remember my first computer when I was young: an
Apple IIe with a 6502 CPU and a 64K RAM. I used to play Astek and Castle
Wolfenstein. Both were on a single floppy disk; they had real time 2D
graphics and sound effect. Pretty amazing when I think about it. And I'm
not even speaking of the complexity of Ultima IV "the quest of the
avatar"...

And here I thought that real men used toggle switches on the front
panel to enter data. No, wait, that's just for the boot loader, I
guess. The rest is of course read in from paper tape.

The scary part is when the old-timer walks over to those toggle
switches and keys in the entire second-stage loader because its tape
broke. No notes, and that tape was 5+ years old at the time....
