Lisp-NYC's highlight last month was a bar fight. Over a bar stool. Bit of a recurring theme in my experience, real estate is valuable in NYC. Sorry, no screencast. We're having so much fun at our meets that word is out and we are attracting non-programmers, some of them... well, let's just say this time I was a peacemaker, 'nuff said? Can't wait for July's throwdown, should be celebrating the first release of the Algebraware. kt

Geez, the only interesting thing to ever happen in a Lisp-NYC meeting and you don't take any photos! ;-) Bar fights are a dime a dozen at lispvan, so we only record the presentations. > We're having so much fun at our meets that word is out and we are > attracting non-programmers, some of them... well, let's just say this > time I was a peacemaker, 'nuff said? You must be getting old. The Kenny I used to know would have waded in with a stool in one hand and a bottle in the other. > Can't wait for July's throwdown, should be celebrating the first release > of the Algebraware. Why debut it in NYC? Why not come to Vancouver and give your stuff proper international exposure? Come on Kenny, NY is so 20th century. - Bill

Ah, I forgot, yer in cattle country, no kidding around out there. Ours was actually pretty sad: everyone made up and spent the rest of the night buying each other shots. Just sickening. > >> We're having so much fun at our meets that word is out and we are >> attracting non-programmers, some of them... well, let's just say this >> time I was a peacemaker, 'nuff said? > > You must be getting old.

I believe you are looking for "kickin and a-gougin in the mud and the blood and the beer" over in the monthly what's-wrong-with-Lisp thread. I squared off with the girl in the party as per last time but this one didn't do Matlab, dropped me with a shot to the solar plexus. Gotta remember to keep my elbows in. > >> Can't wait for July's throwdown, should be celebrating the first release >> of the Algebraware. > > Why debut it in NYC?

I'll come out after the IPO when the snow is back and I can afford the heli-snowboarding. :) kt

At lispvan, if we don't finish the meeting with a few missing teeth and a few broken bones, we think it's been a pretty sorry presentation! > >> We're having so much fun at our meets that word is out and we are > >> attracting non-programmers, some of them... well, let's just say this > >> time I was a peacemaker, 'nuff said? > > > You must be getting old.

Don't worry, if you come to Vancouver, we will hire the Hells Angels to act as bodyguards. We'll make certain you don't get beaten up by any girls here! > >> Can't wait for July's throwdown, should be celebrating the first release > >> of the Algebraware. > > > Why debut it in NYC?

I've got you penciled in for the January meeting. Any particular day of the week work better for you? I'll have to ask my wife to take you to some of the easier slopes cause I know that you easterners aren't used to decent skiing/boarding conditions. ;-) Looking forward to having a beer or two with you when winter comes around. Till then, keep away from those NY women! Cheers, Bill |
