There is, in fact, a native Lisp (Scheme, specifically) environment for Palm OS:
here.

Can't comment on it myself, as I don't have a Palm, but I thought it might be of interest.

I went and grabbed that because it's just too cool not to have ... but I can't run most of the sample code that came with it because I keep running out of heap space. *sigh* I'm not sure whether the amount of free space (2.3M) or the size of the builtin RAM overall (15M) is the deciding factor in how much heap PalmOS makes available.

But at least I've got a toy I can use to refresh my knowledge of Lisp a little, even if I don't figure out how to make it a proper tool.

Along the way, I found a Java runtime environment, which isn't as cool as a native compiler, but should nonetheless be useful. Time for me to finally get around to teaching myself Java.

anniemal talks about guarding my sleep and trying to take care of me when we're together (I can be frustrating to take care of, not because I don't want help, but because I so very much don't want to need taking-care-of ... and because I feel guilty about not being more fun); my feeling better after she'd been here a day or so is quite unlikely to have been mere coincidence. Alas, it only took a couple of days of pushing myself to deal with Things With Looming Deadlines to mess me up again. A couple more things to deal with (after some rest) and tomorrow's gig(s), and then I can try to get back on track in terms of sleep, energy, and pain-management. I did at least have the sense yesterday to not try to squeeze in one more thing I'd really wanted (but not absolutely needed) to get done.

You need to GET OVER THIS. For your own sake: recite the Serenity prayer and have the serenity to accept the things you cannot change. I have been there: not wanting Reality to be my reality. Result: made myself sicker for a longer period of time and ( ... )

Gee, in the recording studio I can! That's what overdubbing is for!

We were talking about reality.

If there were a magical technological solution, I'd be using it and recommending it to you, too (aka, shoving it down your throat :)

I do my best. It's not enough, and you're not terribly easy to figure out and push around, but I try. Sometimes Iwant to take up a wooden spoon when it's not the right time. *smooch*
