This is the public project journal for TheProgrammersBooklist. As the booklist is currently entirely SunirShah's fault, this journal may be a little boring. Hopefully, though, it should provide a sense of the project's pace and maybe spawn interesting discussions. It may also serve as a model for other projects floating around Meatball. Of course, this idea has been somewhat ripped from AdvoGato.

What happened? ^_^

: Amazon.

Care to elaborate? Did Amazon waste your time? Do they maintain booklists? The booklist is unnecessary because the information is available via Amazon?

: I was just joking. I ended up doing different things, like MeatballWiki. The first step is CrystalPalace, though, I think. I wrote an object repository in Perl.

I bought new K2 inline skates to replace my broken down Oxygen 2's. Looks like I'm going to be busy outside for a change. However, I've decided the ObviousNextStep is to learn Python so there you go. I'll come back when I've learnt enough to do something fun and interesting.

Journal created. I've been slowly learning Python and increasing my Unix administration skills. Slow because I've been busy; but that's no excuse, is it?

After having looked at various Smalltalks, I've realized that Smalltalk isn't really going to help me right now until I can ween out the cruft from the class libraries shipped with most Smalltalks. 700 classes are too much. Also, I'm a little worried about the fact the VirtualMachine?s are single-threaded. I've expounded more on this issue on "TheProgrammersBooklist, re: Language".
