 120
 121 <p><a href="http://retes.hu/~mega/git/?p=clon.git;a=summary">Clon</a> is a nice library for scheduling tasks within a Lisp image, but
 122 it used the SBCL timer extension. I wanted to run something using Clon
 123 on <a href="http://trac.clozure.com/openmcl">Clozure CL</a> and so I looked at the SBCL source and found that, after
 124 a bit of fairly straightforward editing, it was possible to write a
 125 portable version for any compiler supporting <a href="http://common-lisp.net/project/bordeaux-threads/">Bordeaux Threads</a>. The
 126 SBCL timers internally use <code>sb-unix:setittimer</code>; Rather than using
 127 <a href="http://common-lisp.net/project/osicat/">Osicat</a> to emulate this I chose to rework the scheduling loop to run in
 128 a dedicated thread that sleeps on a condition variable with a
 129 timeout. This seems <em>cleaner</em> to me than using POSIX lib calls, but
 130 requires a threaded Lisp.</p>
 131
 132 <p><a href="http://releases.unknownlamer.org/trivial-timers/">Releases are available</a> with the usual <a href="http://unknownlamer.org/darcsweb/browse?r=trivial-timers;a=summary">darcs repo</a>. Currently there is a
 133 native SBCL implementation and a portable implementation relying upon
 134 <a href="http://common-lisp.net/project/bordeaux-threads/">Bordeaux Threads</a>. Patches to export other Lisp implementations' timer
 135 interface are welcome.</p>

 144
 145 <p class="first">A simple SWIG based wrapper for <a href="http://www.ignavus.net/software.html">libxosd2</a>. I forked this from
 146 <a href="https://gna.org/projects/guile-xosd">guile-xosd</a> after the maintainer did not respond to an email with a
 147 small patch to make the interface nicer. Guile-XOSD2 requires SWIG
 148 1.3.x and has been tested against the VM branch of Guile. I renamed
 149 most of the functions to have properly Scheme names.</p>

 154 Old Projects</h2>
 155
 156 <p class="first">I used to work on some programs in terrible languages like <code>C++</code> when I
 157 was a poor misguided youth. I still attempt to respond to bug reports
 158 and patches for any that are still in use (<em>Bobot++</em> appears to be the
 159 only one), but they are otherwise not being worked upon.</p>

 161 <h3><a name="sec10" id="sec10"></a>
 162 <a href="../code/bobot.html">Bobot++</a></h3>
 163
 164 <p class="first">A fancy little IRC bot that is extensible with Scheme. If you can
 165 figure out the scripting interface (which is <a href="../code/bobotpp-manual.html#SEC35">partially documented</a>) it
 166 is fairly powerful. <code>dsmith</code> from <code>#guile</code> has a nicely featured bot
 167 written on top of Bobot++; if I find time I shall attempt to post the
 168 source.</p>
 169
 170 <p>There is now a <a href="http://unknownlamer.org/darcsweb/browse?r=bobot%2B%2B;a=summary">darcs repo</a> available with a few minor changes. I am
 171 sporadically working to make the internals of the bot fully threadsafe
 172 so that multithreaded Scheme extensions don't run into issues. I may
 173 potentially clean up the Scheme interface as well (as it was clearly
 174 not designed by a Schemer and I was not so well versed in proper style
 175 in 2002 when I did most of my work on Bobot++).</p>
