Due to some strange synchronicity, the interweb is rumbling with title-case scripts at the moment. (started http://daringfireball.net/2008/05/title_case">here, I expect, then continued http://ejohn.org/blog/title-capitalization-in-javascript/">here ). I was going to contribute a title-case script that demonstrated how much better newLISP was than Perl...



But I decided not to. I don't like using title-case much, and wouldn't use it automatically in any case. (I believe it's now more popular in the US than in England...) But someone could step up to the challenge?

I'm back from the future (see Thursday's Friday post) and have a new episode of Shell Games: http://www.neglook.com/movies/shell-games-sort.mov">the sort function.

Dear Club,



Other projects and responsibilities have forced me to suspend making "Shell Games" for a while. Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about the meta-video :-)

P.S. Funny http://unbalanced-parentheses.nfshost.com/themakingofscene78">post by cormullion, and apparently, Rick is a legal genius.

Thank michael for the games... make sure they return ;-)



Great.. great story/programming mixture Curmullion!..hahaha

Yes, that is a great story from cormullion.  (I wonder if it could be done in the film noir style.  :-)  If P isn't a professional writer, then he would definitely be missing a calling in life.

Thank michael for the games... make sure they return ;-)

Of course: thanks m i c h a e l!!!



BTW, I'm still catching up on many of your activities whilst I was on my "newLISP hiatus".  Last night I checked out the first two installments of m i c h a e l's FOOP video series.  They are rather excellent. I wouldn't expect any less from him (but from mere mortals, I would be happy with much less).



You guys (Norman, Michael, P, &c.) are a really creative bunch!  Keep up the stellar work!

Norman and Ricky,



Thank you both for your continued encouragement and kindness.

make sure they return ;-)

Yes, I hope to begin again soon.

Thank michael for the games...

Norman commands all to thank m i c h a e l !

Of course: thanks m i c h a e l!!!

Good and faithful Ricky :-)

Last night I checked out the first two installments of m i c h a e l's FOOP video series.

I finished the script for the fourth FOOP video some time ago, but I've yet to make the video. I'm really looking forward to getting back into FOOP again!

They are rather excellent. I wouldn't expect any less from him (but from mere mortals, I would be happy with much less).



You guys (Norman, Michael, P, &c.) are a really creative bunch! Keep up the stellar work!

If this keeps up, I'll have to take my hat in to be altered ;-)

Yes, you caught me.  I have been known to succumb to the infrequent Jedi mind trick, as in "These aren't the droids you're looking for":



Stormtrooper Ricky: Let me see your identification.



Obi-Wan KeNorman: [with a small wave of his hand] You don't need to see his identification.



Ricky: We don't need to see his identification.



Norman: These aren't the droids you're looking for.



Ricky: These aren't the droids we're looking for.



Norman: He can go about his business.



Ricky: You can go about your business.



Norman: Move along.



Ricky: Move along... move along.
