doesthiswork: a bit quiet here today, maybe due to ELS. If you have time it could be worth reporting this on the mailing list.

comborico1611, you mean this one? <https://web.archive.org/web/20060105182921/http://www.normal-null.de/lisp_logo.html>

comborico1611, it once was designed by a guy named Manfred Spiller, AFAIK it was never used by any paricular project, it just was a suggestion how a Lisp Logo could look like. There are several copies of that logo on various GitHub etc. repositories.

It's the best Lisp Logo I know of :-) think it first appeared in context of this comp.lang.lisp discussion: <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.lang.lisp/dOS2dMSSTHg>

I can't understand the error message. I'm just doing this for a quick fun thing. I've been away from Lisp for a month or so.

You'll need to ignore the perl-ish stuff. Just experiementing with readability a bit.

Anyone here know about linking C++ files in Emacs? Both the C++ and Emacs IRC channels require this authorization thingy.

iqubic
kukuruznik: you should really just authorize yourself, as this is not the right channel for that.

From PCL, chapter 11: "To add an element to the end of a resizable vector, you can use the function VECTOR-PUSH. It adds the element at the current value of the fill pointer and then increments the fill pointer by one, returning the index where the new element was added.", however, can you do something a la C: int a[5]; a[3] = some_value; <- In the sense you can use arbitrary the indexes of the array?

Actually, better question: Are the talks being recorded/livestreamed or posted to youtube or something?

iqubic: It is happening now. I wanted to go, but no time and it was too much of a hassle to travel.
5:02:27
iqubic
I'm in High School, and have no disposable income, and my parents wouldn't support this.
5:03:14
loke
A lot of people in the US (i.e. your parents) seem to think that just because you're travelling outside the US, it's somehow complicated, expensive and difficult.
5:04:34
iqubic
yeah, but I don't have the time. I'm not sure I can convice my parents that they should spend this money for me to go learn about an obscure programming language.
5:04:51
loke
I was talking to this guy in philadelphia or something, and he was shocked to learn that going to london was faster and easier than going to california
5:05:46
loke
Anyway, hopefully next year it'll be in a better location. If it's in, say, Berlin, it would be a lot easier to go to for everybody
5:06:19
loke
Well, the reason the location ios as obscure as it is is because there is a company doing Lisp work located there, and they're hoping to hire people :-)
5:08:23
loke
iqubic: Well, I just rnadomly checked the cost for a flight from seatlly to berlin, return... and it's just over 1000 USD
5:12:52
loke
I'm just saying that just because an event is in europe that it's difficult for you to attend.
5:15:02
iqubic
Yeah, I don't have a driver's license, so I'd be relying on taxis and other such things.
5:16:00
loke
iqubic: Well, in my case, a train would actually be faster :-) I'm just renting a car since I will meet up with a friend before the even and go on a mountain bike ride on some trails nearby.

iqubic: have you been to the Seajure meetup? I'd bet there's some common lisp people there too.. there was also a Lisp group but they haven't had a meetup since december.
