Programming of Late

It has been very busy at work and I haven’t been doing much personal coding of substance recently so I haven’t had much to post about here.  Code wise, I’ve started putting scripts and stuff on GitHub.  There isn’t much there yet, but that’s where I’ll be putting code updates from now on.  It can be difficult to put stuff in git and push it to GitHub because I want things to be of a certain quality before making it public.  Despite the fact that no one will really look at it.

I was skeptical of git at first, and I had been meaning to setup svn for my stuff, but the recent surge in git use caused me to check it out.  So far I like it, but if you’re like me and don’t need advanced source control then cvs or svn will probably still work for you.

I’m also trying to learn Lisp.  I ‘learned’ Scheme is college, but now I think I can actually appreciate and get something out of the language.  Defmacro has some interesting articles on Lisp that should be checked out.

Part of what lead me to GitHub and Lisp is the Programming section of Reddit.  It’s the only part of Reddit that I read, but it’s got a grate community and quality posts so I recommend checking for interesting posts once daily.  You may learn something.  I gotta thank Scott for recommending it to me.
