Essential string processing functions in Common Lisp Guides
September 10, 2012
It should be noted that true Common Lisp somewhat lacks in several important parts of string-processing, and it shows sometime. Today I needed to heavily process large body of regular text and will write here some functions which are AFAIK considered "standard" in modern languages and which not so easily accessible and/or amazingly intuitive in CL.

SICP bookbinding Do It Yourself
February 1, 2011
Some time ago I was unbeliveably impressed by the Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, and I still recommend it to every software developer for the general knowledge. No other book (apart from, maybe, CTMCP) teaches so thoroughly and so understandably such a fundamental, key concepts of the software development. So, when I saw that Neil Van Dyke published on their website a Texinfo version of the SICP text, which I could print on a printer, I was completely elated and did exactly that.
Devops tambourine Do It Yourself
September 24, 2010
In the faraway year 2010 it was a very popular running gag that devops personnel repairs servers using the voodoo tambourines. I’m too lazy to research it, but it probably begins as early as the time of bash.org.ru. Anyway, at that time I was working as a system administrator in a different companies and stumbled upon one absolutely wonderful guide to assemble the tambourine from CDs and floppy disks. The guide page itself, as far as I understand, is not accessible anymore, but I downloaded its copy for me.
