Re: CMUCL News -> Live Graphics Nightly

Folks --

Thanks to Ray for the mention.

And, I must add that my novel relates directly to CMUCL in two ways.

First, the graphics editor / page layout program I used to write
(and draw) the book is written in lisp and runs in CMUCL and CLX
under OS X.

Second, believe it or not, lisp has a pivotal role in the major
subplot, which involves a visual lambda calculus, an aging Zen
master / performance art cult leader, and a villa in Versailles.

So, exactly how does this all relate to a graphics bar in West Oakland?

Fictionally.

Also, interestingly, I think.

PS Much thanks to Ray and all of you for building/maintaining CMUCL over
the years, and to many of you Ray included for your help to me personally.

PPS I'm off to Macworld for a few days. If there is any interest,
when I get back I can create a special CMUCL-list only page at Lulu
for ordering copies at cost.
