Dan's status

[Dan Sugalski]

Okay, I figure it's time for a quick status report from me, since I've been missing from the list of late and it's been showing. (Leo's been doing grand things but at some point he's going to run out of old mistakes of mine and'll need new ones to work with :)

Tomorrow (tuesday) I'm heading out to Seabastapol CA for a week-long perl 6 design get-together thingie. This is the second in a series--since the group's small (Larry, Damian, Allison, and me, unless Steve can get there) we churn through a lot of semantics and syntax, at least we should if the last time we did this (in Zurich) is any indication.

This is good for two reasons--first, I'll be flying which always leaves me with free time once the batteries run down so I can churn through some pending design stuff and hopefully get a unified low-level object system put together. Second, any pending Odd Behaviour that might be coming down the pike for perl 6 will be worked out. I don't expect any, but Larry & Damian have surprised me before.

After that I'm up in Seattle for a day, at Amazon (monday the 10th).

I do have a vicious editor and book deadlines, and a quickly upcoming short-term contract, so my parrot time'll be a bit limited. I'm going to try *very* hard to get objects finally defined this upcoming week (something to do in the evenings if my brain's still functional) so folks have things to churn on while I'm in reduced-access mode.

Sorry I've been getting in the way--I'm trying to get some of the bottlenecks cleared out so I won't be as much in the way for a while.
