Actual Programming: x86 assembler, Pascal, BASIC, C, C++, a little FORTH,
                    a little Scheme. :-(

Programming Research: Self, Sisal, Scheme, Common Lisp, Henry Baker's papers,
                    parallelism/communications issues, thinking about efficiency
                    in language design.

 - Designing a Lisp dialect: A good idea, but getting an implementation going
will take a while. I like Henry's ideas about linear logic etc.

 - Thinking about user-level isssues. I can think like a newbie.
 
 - Style related stuff. I've done some graphical design. I can't draw to
save my life, but I can design :-)

As above! I can program, too, depending upon the language. I can write
hardware drivers to some extent, and x86 related stuff.

I can supply a meg or two of web space at the www.abwillms.demon.co.uk server.

I'm full of ideas.

AT LEAST: 2 hours per week
AT MOST: 1 full day per week

Hardware available:

AMD 486DX4/100 w. 36Mb RAM, dialup Internet (SLIP/PPP), SB16 sound card I
can write drivers for, IDE hard disks I want to find out how to write
drivers for, Ditto 800 tape driver I also want to find out how to write
drivers for, CLGD5424 graphics card I can write drivers for if given access
to real-mode VBE BIOS for initialisation.
