SLIME48

After three weeks of bidding on ebay, I've finally landed an inexpensive WM5 device on which to test 1.3. (Testing! What an idea!) This bodes well for my releasing 1.3 sooner rather than later.

Recent, I spent an evening playing with SLIME48, a port of SLIME to Scheme48. Particularly sexy is SLIME's willingness to connect to a running Lisp on another host. After some fiddling, I found that I could run a daemon Scheme48 on a FreeBSD box, interacting with it through a SLIME running on my Windows workstation; whereupon I thought: if Scheme48 on my BSD server, why not Pocket Scheme on my docked PPC? Unfortunately, a docked PPC isn't TCP-addressible via ActiveSync from the host, and SLIME's substrate depends on the debugger-in-Emacs being able to call the remote Scheme via TCP, though it could work via WiFi, Ethernet, or Bluetooth. It's still an inspiring thought.
