I've been looking over "Practical Common Lisp" and of course "An Introduction to Programming in Emacs Lisp", along with "On Lisp".
Have read more in the past week than probably the past two years.
Also found Cliki and started delving into it. Been reading the Lisp
newsgroup a bit too.

Recently there was what seemed a major flame war over Lisp vs. Java. I'll keep out of those sorts of things. Everyone has a rectum and opinion. No point in showing how much both stink. And again thank you for the excellent pointers, and reminding ever so gently to rtfm and source. :)

One of my goals at this point is to use Emacs as an environment to write short stories, novels. Learning to program will be an outlet hobby for me, as well as provide more practical means to attain the goals. Who knows? I might even be good enough at one, or the other to make a modest wage.

Well, better scoot along for now. Figure someone will want use their computer. Microsoft Windows Vista now scares me.
