<mark_weaver>My first real computer was an Apple ][ plus, on which I did some programming in 6502 assembly, but that's about as far back as I go. <mark_weaver>before that I did some programming in BASIC on a TRS-80 model 1, and also the TRS-80 pocket computer. *davexunit is attempting to use guile-wm. <mark_weaver>as for low-level hardware stuff, I designed and built a simple microcode-based CPU out of simple TTL chips once. <mark_weaver>and also a memory expansion board for the VME bus. both of these were for a digital circuit design course in school. <davexunit>does anyone have the link to the guile-wm website? <davexunit>I can't seem to find the place where it was posted before <davexunit>dsmith-work: thanks. thunderbird's search feature was really failing me. it's not very good. <dsmith-work>Does anyone remember if Mark Witmer was ever in here, and what his nick is? civodul was asking the other day. <davexunit>I swear I've seen him in here before. maybe mwitmer? <sneek>Not as far as I can remember. <mark_weaver>I searched my logs for "witmer" and didn't find anything. If he's ever been on #guile, I didn't realize it was him <dsmith-work>davexunit: Ya, I vaguely remember him (or someone) mentioning the guile-xcb stuff as he was startign out on it. <sneek>Not as far as I can remember. ***fangism is now known as fangism-ctrl-Z
<kurohin>why does #:optional need to be before #:key arguments when using (define* ? <TaylanUB>kurohin: Otherwise it's ambiguous or so I think. <TaylanUB>Did you read (info "(guile) lambda* and define*") ? <kurohin>yes but I did not really understand why <kurohin>I guess I should take a look at define*, then it might become clear to me why. <mark_weaver>kurohin: well, optional arguments (if present) have to come before keyword arguments. <mark_weaver>remember that keywords are just normal datums, like #t or 4.5. if they are found in a place that would be a required or optional argument, then they are not interpreted specially. <dsmith>mark_weaver, The other day you expressed disappointment with the rpi. Is there an alternative that you like better? <davexunit>the beaglebone seems to be somewhat better from a freedom perspective. <dsmith>davexunit, Thanks. Looks interesting <mark_weaver>If it were me, I'd use a Loongson 2F machine if possible. ***sneek_ is now known as sneek
