Yay Open Source!

My workplace just gave me permission to open-source two projects I did for them. One is screen-scraper, a rudimentary (but extensible) vt100 terminal emulator for lisp (BSD licence, sans advertising). The other is debian-security-updates, a netsaint/nagios plugin and debian security update SNMP agent adaptor (GPL).

Wow. Lots of nouns in that last sentence.

Maximum Respekt, Udo!

Just returned from watching Udo 77, the musical about Udo Proksch (here’s the monochrom blog entry with some background information on him).

Much fun was had by all (including the actors!). Key highlights: a gay love story between two computer programs (singing a love song in english, though), really pretty good music, sarcastic technobabble that was funny even if you know a bit about computers. No lisp, though.

So, the obligatory lisp content in this journal entry. Iterate has a new home, and also a mailing list. If you want to know more about it, help us develop it, or just like to hang around in cool places, feel free to join.

Also, make the “probably” in the last entry title an “I wish”.
