So, of course, I had a big demo today and, you guessed it, DrScheme wouldn't load. I had already rolled back to 4.1.5 because this code doesn't run under 4.2 (or 4.2.1) - we're tracking that down. I reloaded PLT Scheme, etc., but that didn't work. Eventually, I looked here and saw the problem. Not being clever enough to just change the date on my laptop, I downloaded 4.1 and ran the demo under it - which meant loading all my PLaneT packages, etc. But, the demo was successful in the end.
Anyway, I was wondering if we could get a list of all the developer's birthdays and significant holidays - Easter (obviously it has to have an Easter egg or what would be the point), Thanksgiving, Texas Independence Day, Talk Like a Pirate Day, etc - so we can schedule demos around them. Oh, and Happy Birthday, Eli. Doug On Thu, Jul 30, 2009 at 5:54 AM, Michael Sperber <sper...@deinprogramm.de>wrote: > > DrScheme is broken today - it doesn't start up.
