Semi interesting work in general CS/networking. 
  
- Have you written any Lisp-related papers? If so, please supply 
  bibliographical references (and URL's, if possible). 
  
- Have you developed or participated in the development of any

  if possible. 
  
none current.

CLtL1 CL, CLtL2 CL, ANSI CL, Scheme 
  
- Lisp variants you're currently using or intend to use in the 
  near future: 
  
ANSI CL 
  
- Lisp implementations you have used 
  (e.g. CMUCL, Lispworks, Allegro Common Lisp): 
  
All fo the above 
  
- Lisp implementations you're currently using or intend to use 
  in the near future: 
  
Cuurently: Lispworks (Pro) and SBCL.  
  
- Computer platforms on which you're using or deploying Lisp: 
  
Use: Linux, Deploy; Windows. 
  
- Number of years of experience with Lisp: 
  
off and on since 88 I think. 
  
- Do you use Lisp: 
  - at work (if so, how much) 
  
90% of present coding. 
  
  - for study (if so, how much) 
  
about 60% of study, but very little study time at the mement. 
  
  
- Are you using Lisp as much as you would like to? 
  If not, why not? 
  
I am fine right now.  
  
- Do you see any obstacles to further Lisp growth (if so, what 
  is the biggest obstacle in your opinion)? 
  
For the kind of stuff I do, I can usually wring performance out of it 
relatively easily (I do need performance often), most newbies cannot. 
This is partly a compiler quality issue, of course.  
  
- Would you be interested in a Lisp-related job or contract work? 
  
Not right now.  I'd like to get paid for solving problems using lisp 
if appriate as a tool though, rather than just coding something. 
  
- Is your organization interested in hiring Lisp programmers? 
  
there is no organization 
  
- Are you currently participating in Lisp-related meetings? 
  If so, where and how often? 
  If not, would you be interested in such meetings? 
  
no, yes
