Hi everybody,
Novell is offering a free Linux Technical Resource kit to WLUG members (and
other LUGs, I'm sure). To get it, you'll need to go to their website and
answer a bunch of questions. Here is the information, in case you are
interested. If anybody gets one of these, I'd be curious to know what they
think of it.

Hi everybody,
I've finally gotten around to updating the WLUG website - my apologies for
the
delay.
o slides from June talk are available (bootsplash and gfxboot)
o slides from John Rulnick's talk about Bay Path College linux
courses
Also, an early reminder about the annual WLUG BBQ , which will be held in
Shrewsbury, MA USA at Doug Waud's house on Wednesday, July 21st at 6:00 PM
(yes, that's 6:00 PM and its not a misprint (is it Doug??)). We will not
have a meeting at WPI on this date - we'll all be at Doug's house.
Oh, BTW, in years past, Doug has allowed us to use the pool, but for some
reason, nobody has ever taken the plunge! This year, we need to change
that. :-) No, I don't mean that Doug won't allow us to use the pool, but
that we should actually *avail ourselves* of the opportunity. If you have
wearable computing, be sure its waterproof.
Have a great July 4th weekend !
Andy

Well, before seeing this email, I bought ANSI Common Lisp off amazon the
other
day and it just came him; reading through it now! I looked at a history of
lisp somewhere (I think in a link in the Common Lisp Hypertext, of which I
was directed to from reviews on amazon) and heard Scheme described as
basically a Pascal equivalent of Scheme in the sense that it was designed to
teach, not to use. Of course, knowing nothing about Lisp and its dialects, I
believed this, having the new 1000-level CS class that teaches Scheme seem
also to point in that direction; hearing your feelings concerning Scheme,
however, makes it seem as though I have been misinformed (alas, the curse of
the internet!).
Well, I'm teaching myself Common Lisp now, anywho. The book I got was highly
recommended, both as an introductory Lisp book and as a great reference for
Common Lisp. The book is put out by Prentice Hall as part of there Series In
Artificial Intelligence, and being that that is what drew me to teaching
myself Lisp in the first place, seems like a good place to start. I'll check
out one of the local university libraries here (I'm in lower Rhode Island, by
the way) and see if I can pick up some of those books you've mentioned. Thank
you all very much.

Books Of Lisp
by sageman＠WPI.EDU
Hi. Well, I figure since Lisp is such an important language,
especially in GNU/Linux systems (favorite of Stallman afterall)
I should pose this question to this group. Basically I'm interested
in learning Lisp and was wondering if anyone has some
favorite or recommended books that describe the syntax of
Lisp. Additionally books related to introductory artificial
intelligence work, with algorithms, design issues, et cetera,
especially books with example Lisp code would be
very welcome. Thanks.

Now I've seen everything. :-)
When PCs first came out, we were told that one good use would be to keep our
recipes on them. OK, after all of these years, I have my first recipe on my
hard drive due to Matt's email.
Later,
