    I've contributed to the CLOCC repository

    (http://clocc.sourceforge.net).

    I have several pieces of software available on my web page

    (http://www.cs.yale.edu/homes/dvm), all written in Lisp.

Well, since my work, study, and hobby are all more or less the same

activity (CS research, teaching, and hacking), I guess I'd say I spend

40% of my time on Lisp in some sense.

   Lack of standard APIs and libraries for things like networking and

    I have one!

    No.
