Hi,

Seven of us last night.  If you think only six that's because a seventh
turned up after we'd all left.  I bumped into them after returning to
the bar to get an exit token for the car park, so a mini-meet followed
with just the two of us.  :-)

A few bits related to what I heard mentioned last night...

LLVM, the compiler infrastructure project, has a C compiler.

LLVM was used by Apple to change how OpenGL was handled in quite a
clever manner.  The first half of these slides cover it.

GDB stubs for having GDB on the host talk to a target board, especially
on Coldfire.  http://sca.uwaterloo.ca/coldfire/

How Unicode includes APL glyphs, allowing Conway's Game of Life to be
succintly represented.  life←{ ↑1 ⍵∨.^3 4=+/,¯1 0 1∘.⊖¯1 0 
1∘.⌽⊂⍵ }
http://www.dyalog.com/dfnsdws/s_life.htm is it in action.

Cheers,
Ralph.
