Some of the things I'm currently working on: Tidying up the Goo .NET stuff to make available here. Reading type libraries from Corman Lisp and generating the wrapper methods to use COM automatically. Porting some Open GL based C software from Linux to Windows. Looking for a job. In two weeks my contract expires and I'm officially unemployed. 11:54:07 PM

I've made the Corman Lisp mailing list archives readable to the public. I wasn't aware the default was to be read by members only, oops! 11:50:45 PM

Roger Corman reports in the Corman Lisp mailing list that Corman Lisp 2.0 may be out sometime in June. It may include the capability to generate DLL's. In another recent post he confirms that DLL generation is working in the version he is currently developing, including the ability to export Lisp functions that can be called from other languages like a native DLL. 11:43:13 PM

There's a small bug in the way method dispatch works in Corman Lisp 1.5. I posted to the Corman Lisp mailing list about it and Roger Corman is going to provide a patch for it. In the meantime here's my post describing the fix: This is caused by a problem with 'std-method-more-specific-p' in clos.lisp. In this method see the following line: (classes required-classes (cdr required-classes)) This should be: (classes required-classes (cdr classes)) With the original line it was never iterating over the required-classes correctly, causing very strange method lookup problems. 11:37:47 PM
