Was thinking over Paul Graham's Arc proposal.
I get weird feeling from it.. some of the ideas are obviously right and cute; OTOH the language feels to alien to Lisp. Single-dispatch single-inheritance object system also looks awkward.
Then, if Arc is a scripting language, where all the regexps? Why just don't use the special treatment of combinations again, so that ("foo bar baz" ".*ba")will result in "foo ba"?

Used GPG for a first time. It works! Amazing.

Sourceforge behaves bad lately. A week passed since I started CLJL on SF, but still I can't import my sources to CVS. Or is it just me?

Finally decided to release my lispier JPEG codec to the public. With Krystof's suggestion, project now is named 'cljl' and SourceForge project application is in progress.

Upgrade to 2.4.10 kernel was abit disappointing: whenever attempt to play a sound is made, system locks up and produces weird noises. Must be due to problems in i810 sound driver. Rolled back to 2.2.18.
