The Lisp Magazine at http://www.lisp-p.org/isn't dead, though I wouldn't blame anyone for thinking it might be.

I've learned some CGI programming with Perl¹& re-implemented the site.

Some things readers will notice include:

• http://www.lisp-p.org/ still works, but the real front page is http://www.lisp-p.org/root.cgi. I'm undecided on whether to declare ../../root.cgi as the official link to th emagazine. After all, it's changed once, so it could change again. I supposed there's little danger that ../../index.html will cease working, though it's mildly inconvenient to go there first & be redirected to ../../root.cgi. So which is the official link to the site? Ya got me.

• There's an automatically generated ``What's Newest'' list.

• You can select articles by a simple keywords system. You can sort them by title, author, modification time, & creation time.

So now it's a matter of getting more articles. Have you heard that many online business attempts of the 1990s learned that content was more difficult than simply creating the Web site?

Yep.

End.
