A Peculiar Day Pt. 6 - Confession 9
2014.07.10 18:59:08Lost in the world of words, time passed quickly. Before Monika could notice, dinner was served and the darkness had reclaimed the streets outside. Both of her parents were already seated as Monika hurried into the living room to eat. She hastily threw a greeting towards her father who grunted in response and just as she was about to sit down the front door crashed open and Florian rushed in. Anja immediately shouted “clean yourself off or you'll have to do the dishes today!” The door closed and after a while Florian came in again, this time without taking a ton of snow with him.

CL Symbols and Packages - Confession 8
2014.07.09 17:54:03While Practical Common Lisp is a superb primer on CL I feel like it doesn't cover packages and symbols early or in-depth enough as I still had to learn a lot about them afterwards. This topic as well as ASDF/Quicklisp and Slime/Swank are things that I'll talk about a bit in a few blog entries in the hopes that they may be useful to other people learning CL.

A Peculiar Day Pt. 3 - Confession 4
2014.06.30 15:03:58The bell finally put an end to the terror regime of the history lesson and Mr Denzler quickly hurried out without declaring the homework for next week. All the better, thought Monika and looked out of the wide classroom windows. A heavy snowstorm wailed outside, making it impossible to see anything except for a flurry of snowflakes. Mesmerised by the dance of the particles, Monika got lost in thought. Meanwhile the rest of the class was occupied with preparing for the next lesson in Biology, some of them hastily discussing the exercises they had to solve for today, others re-reading some of the chapters in the textbook.

A Peculiar Day Pt. 2 - Confession 3
2014.06.27 22:35:39Monika stomped ahead through the freezing morning cold. She progressed slowly as the snow lay thick on the streets and the cold was gnawing on her bones. Luckily the way to school wasn't all too long and the thought of napping for a bit before the first lesson motivated her to hurry ahead.

A Peculiar Day Pt. 1 - Confession 2
2014.06.26 22:01:50I don't think it's wrong to assume that everyone has experienced days that in retrospect seemed to be rather peculiar. When things don't go according to plan and slightly trail off course, a feeling of uncertainty starts to build up. What follows is going to be a recounting of one such day in Monika's life.

Confessions Primer
2014.06.25 21:02:10In an effort to further my writing skills I'm going to try and force myself to write something every evening, in a similar spirit to my ongoing “onesies” drawing series. The content of these texts is most likely going to vary wildly, ranging from instructional and factual articles to completely unrelated fictional stories or ramblings, with the excuse that it's probably better to write about anything than not writing at all. Whether this excuse will properly disguise the fact that I'm rather terrible at coming up with good ideas on the spot is left up for the future to decide.
