for Saturdays, I'd be willing to drive out there and attend the

We'll have to see what my schedule is like.

Hi Doug,
A quick look at Mapquest shows that Longmont, CO is about 8 hours
drive from Salt Late City, UT. That's about 16 hours round-trip! Wow,
I knew our user group meetings were good, but I didn't think they were
this good :) While this would qualify us for bragging rights vis-a-vis
the LispNYC group, are you sure you want to do this? You might want to
wait until our January meeting when we have the first annual "Kenny
Tilton does Cells" performance!
Cheers,
Bill Clementson

Yeah I double checked that too. I probably won't make it to the
Monday meeting, but if you were to have some on Saturday, I think I
would drive up for them. I could head out Friday night, and come back
Saturday. I'm always up for a mini-vacation. :) Then again, if
Mondays are the best days for you guys, I can understand that as well.
I definately will have to come out for the Kenny Tilton visit in
January. :)

I have been toying with moving to Colorado and an earlier scouting
expedition was a possibility. But a snowboarding trip this year is in
order, so January works. hell, I might be living there by then. :)

It's a long trip for both of us. Maybe it should be a two-day workshop.
By then, if I can get Cello running under Mesa and Linux and CMUCL or
SBCL, the second day could be on that Cell-driven gui framework.

Sweet!! That would be awesome! 2 day workshop, then some time on the
slopes. :)
I can't believe I've never been skiiing in Colorado, and I live next
door! Although, maybe because I live in Utah, I've never been
compelled...the skiing is pretty damn good here too.
What day are you speaking at the ILC? I got my hotel reservation
today, and I started my conference signup, although I still have to
fax Ray my student ID.

Great news! I have lived in Boulder for the past ~8 years and it's a
terrific place to live. If you have any questions or just want to bounce
things off someone, feel free to email me.
Cheers,

Eric walked us through a lisp project that he has been working on
using the development approach outlined in Kent Beck's book <a
href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0321146530">Test-Driven
Development</a>. There was a bit of discussion about the pros/cons of
the approach and the scenarios where it would be most appropriate to
use it. After about an hour, we walked over to the local pub to carry
on our discussions.
