*** [[darcsweb::ucw-core_clinton][ucw-core branch]]
I maintain a personal branch of ucw-core with various work in progress
-patches that are intended to go into upstream. My primary task is
-filling in the ucw-standard library which was removed in the ucw-core

** [[darcsweb::trivial-timers][Trivial-Timers]]
[[http://retes.hu/~mega/git/?p=clon.git;a=summary][Clon]] is a nice library for scheduling tasks within a Lisp image, but
it used the SBCL timer extension. I wanted to run something using Clon

sporadically working to make the internals of the bot fully threadsafe
so that multithreaded Scheme extensions don't run into issues. I may
potentially clean up the Scheme interface as well (as it was clearly
