All of this reading is all well and good but <pause> well, it's just reading. I wish I had an excuse to use Lisp in anger. I've been sneaking it into silly little utilities; I don't always reach for Perl anymore. I have aikido lessons in the evenings and I don't sit in my apartment enough on the weekends to have a lot of time to code for fun. I'm looking for other avenues. What are other people working on? Is anyone using any of this stuff in anger? I'm actually quite interested to hear a bit more from Paul Dietz, as he is also a Motorola employee. What about jobs in the Chicago area that might involve Lisp? Personally, I don't have any idea what an agenda for the first Chicago Lisp meeting should look like but these are some of the general topics of interest to me. Actually, I live in Chicago (Wicker Park) but I work in Arlington Heights; I don't really often make it out to the suburbs on the weekends.
What about everybody else?
Hi Damien,
I'm a coworker of Paul's too. :-)
There's no shortage of good restaurants between the main campus and Arlington Heights. Since we clearly need a first suggestion, I'm going to start by suggesting Olive Garden. The only one I know of is by Woodfield mall, but I'm sure there are others.
