+
+<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
+it used the SBCL timer extension. I wanted to run something using Clon
+on <a href="http://trac.clozure.com/openmcl">Clozure CL</a> and so I looked at the SBCL source and found that, after
+a bit of fairly straightforward editing, it was possible to write a
+portable version for any compiler supporting <a href="http://common-lisp.net/project/bordeaux-threads/">Bordeaux Threads</a>. The
+SBCL timers internally use <code>sb-unix:setittimer</code>; Rather than using
+<a href="http://common-lisp.net/project/osicat/">Osicat</a> to emulate this I chose to rework the scheduling loop to run in
+a dedicated thread that sleeps on a condition variable with a
+timeout. This seems <em>cleaner</em> to me than using POSIX lib calls, but
+requires a threaded Lisp.</p>
+
+<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
+native SBCL implementation and a portable implementation relying upon
+<a href="http://common-lisp.net/project/bordeaux-threads/">Bordeaux Threads</a>. Patches to export other Lisp implementations' timer
+interface are welcome.</p>

<p class="first">A fancy little IRC bot that is extensible with Scheme. If you can
written on top of Bobot++; if I find time I shall attempt to post the

+<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
+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
+not designed by a Schemer and I was not so well versed in proper style
+in 2002 when I did most of my work on Bobot++).</p>
