Secure FTP support in Allegro CL
The AllegroCL Secure FTP (SFTP) client module is available from Franz Inc.'s Github repository (see http://github.com/franzinc/sftp). It is not currently integrated into the Allegro CL product.
SFTP in Allegro CL can be used to communicate with an SFTP server. This module is a wrapper around the program PSFTP which is part of the PuTTY program suite. Since psftp.exe is a 32 bit Windows program, this client module currently is only available for the Windows operating system (32 and 64 bit). This module has been tested with PuTTY's psftp.exe program version 0.60.
The AllegroCL SFTP client module can do the following:
- Copy files to and from remote hosts
- Walk remote file structures
- Access the file modification time and size of remote files
Readme.md documents the implementation.
Free Express Users - Update Available
The license file for the original Allegro CL 8.2 Express Edition expires on January 31, 2012. In late January 2012, we released a new version of the Express Edition, for all supported Express platforms (Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD).
There are two ways to update your Express Edition with this new release:
- Install the new devel.lic
- Reinstall the entire product

Webcast: Javascript - The Key to Successful SemWeb Deployments
Join us - Tuesday, Februrary 14th at 10AM Pacific.
Semantic Web databases need a scripting language for server side programming. We will demonstrate that Javascript has all the power and flexibility to be such a language. In addition we'll show how scripts and queries can be turned into named web services.
During this presentation we will demonstrate our Javascript compiler and a Javascript library that can perform all the basic handling of RDF quads, indices, and databases. This server side Javascript can also include SPARQL and Prolog and has rich functionality for temporal and spatial functions and can be used to write graph based algorithms that will work at server speed.

5th European Lisp Symposium
April 30th to May 1st - Univ of Zadar, Croatia
The purpose of the European Lisp Symposium is to provide a forum for the discussion and dissemination of all aspects of design, implementation and application of any of the Lisp and Lisp-inspired dialects, including Common Lisp, Scheme, Emacs Lisp, AutoLisp, ISLISP, Dylan, Clojure, ACL2, ECMAScript, Racket, SKILL, and so on. We encourage everyone interested in Lisp to participate.
For additional information, see here.Practical Semantic Web - Applications, Common Lisp Edition
This new book is intended to be a practical guide for using RDF data in information processing, linked data, and semantic web applications using both the AllegroGraph commercial product and the Sesame open source project.

RoboPainter - Studio 360's program about Harold Cohen's Lisp App - AARON
AARON is the worldҳ first cybernetic artist: an artificially intelligent system that composes its own paintings. Incredibly, the system is the work of one man, Harold Cohen, who had no background in computing when he began the effort. Read more....
