I just found out that Cyrus Harmon is in town tomorrow. https://github.com/slyrus?tab=repositories Let's use that as a catalyst and have a Boston Lisp Meeting. Since it's a bit late to negotiate, I unilaterally propose we meet at Mary Chung next to Central Sq at 6:30pm. It's cheaper, tastier and less crowded and noisy than the CBC. —♯ƒ • François-René ÐVB Rideau •Reflection&Cybernethics• http://fare.tunes.org Be humble, for you are made of earth.
