After the rant about Daylight Saving recently, I decided it was time to put my money where my mouth is and actually make this software work across multiple timezones. It is a thankless task - unless of course you're in New York and don't appreciate seeing everything in California time.
I've since gotten it more or less working and stabilized. You still may see a couple of funny dates, but now most everything will track your time zone - and it even gets Australia right (at least for 1900-2006, knock on wood). Members of the Navajo nation should use America/Denver. Other Arizona citizens, America/Phoenix. To set your timezone, go to the My Profile page. This assumes you've got an account. Guests are stuck in Pacific Time. Once you've set the timezone - things will start to be displayed in your own time. This is important for the Events system.
Along with this, I've now got a World Time page to let you keep track of Tulsa Time. Or Moscow Time. Whatever.
Oh, and I also grabbed a copy of the latest CIA world factbook and put it online. Now you can get a map of Barbados without looking all over the webiverse for it.
These items were making the 'Tools' menu kinda' big so I split the menus up once again. Now there's a 'Reference' menu as well.
Oh yeah, more fun stuff ... check out a Random word in the dictionary .
Development will probably start to slow down now. I believe I've found some paid employment to keep me busy. Details to come in due time.
There has been some confusion concerning MAPCAR.
(DEFUN MAPCAR (&FUNCTIONAL FCN &EVAL &REST LISTS)
(PROG (V P LP)
(SETQ P (LOCF V))
L (SETQ LP LISTS)
(%START-FUNCTION-CALL FCN T (LENGTH LISTS) NIL)
L1 (OR LP (GO L2))
(AND (NULL (CAR LP)) (RETURN V))
(%PUSH (CAAR LP))
(RPLACA LP (CDAR LP))
(SETQ LP (CDR LP))
(GO L1)
L2 (%FINISH-FUNCTION-CALL FCN T (LENGTH LISTS) NIL)
(SETQ LP (%POP))
(RPLACD P (SETQ P (NCONS LP)))
(GO L)))
We hope this clears up the many questions we've had about it.
