Hackfest 11111 Mortem

by graham

20 April 2006 – Happy Birthday Ginny and EK!

Since Last Week:

Vinny-
Researched Lisp MOOs and played with scsh-surflet.
Listening to CS61A at UC Berkeley – SICP, Video of Abelson and Sussman.

Erik-
Subwey- control security circumvention for iframes.
Social bookmarking software sucks – once you give feedback it should disappear.

Graham-
Relearning web service clients on win32.

This weeks plans:

Vinny-
Reading about Lisp reflection – Translucent Procedures, Abstraction w/o Opacity. Rozas ’93 (MIT)

Erik-
Subwey- working on algorithm for efficiently traversing DOM tree.

Graham-
Simple web client.

This week’s reality:

Vinny-
Nobody on #scheme knows about scheme reflection. Reading and writing closure might break Rees security model. You could bypass any code that protected variables in the closure.

Erik-
Fixed a crapton of bugs. Started with the DOM traversal algorithm.

Graham-
Tried using the Sam Ruby Atom client, but something’s wrong with auth.
