I moved

Stop reading here, it is no longer my hangout. All future posts are being made on TrotterCashion.com. It’s ruby, nginx, and more fun. Enjoy.

(define trotter? taking-gre?)

‘nough said. I’ve got the GRE today, so don’t expect to see any witty computer posts.

Still, I’ll leave you with one snippet of life-code to tide you over:

(define (get-to-work person transit-options)
  (cond ((subway-running? transit-options) (take-subway person))
          ((have-feet? person)
            (start-walking person transit-options))))
(define (start-walking person transit-options)
  (cond ((step-in-slush-puddle? person)
           (if (cab-close? transit-options)
               (take-cab person)
               (curse-heavens person)))
           (else
             (laugh-at-people-in-slush-puddle person)
             (arrive-at-work person))))

And that’s a very basic version of getting to work.

life-code: To-Do List

To give you an idea as to what life-coding is all about, have a look at the code for how to complete to-do list:

define do-task-list
  for item in task-list
    perform item
  loop
end

Though it says nothing about how to make task-lists or how to perform the action, it does provide a concrete definition of how to execute a to-do list. Over time, you’ll see these bits of code start to get integrated into a definitive system.
