14:26 j3parker: if i am in the racket command line and i have a definition in the global environment is there any way to save it to disk?
14:27 j3parker: i'm processing a 5mb string and i've done a number of passes but i am worried at soem point i am going to run out of memory
14:27 j3parker: i guess i could just save the string to a text file and load it again later, but in general is there a way to save state?

19:52 ebering: is there a midi library for plt?
19:53 eli: ebering: Which platform?
19:53 ebering: eli: linux
19:53 ebering: (sadly no impromptu)
19:54 j3parker: eli: alright, email our sysadmin when you are settled in :)
19:55 eli: j3parker: ok
19:55 eli: ebering: linux is the most problematic in that area.
19:55 ebering: eli: what I feared
19:56 eli: I have code for playing midi on windows (which is the easiest),
19:56 eli: and also some code for OSX that is a major PITA to do, but it should be working according to rumors.
19:56 eli: But for linux, I don't know of any *robust* way to just do the simple thing of sending out midi events.
19:57 eli: If you know of something, I'll be happy to hear about it.
19:57 eli: It's basically the last piece missing to add it into the distribution.\
19:57 eli hates foreign keyboards.
19:58 Lajla: eli, which?
20:00 eli: Lajla: A hebrew one, but even worse with some keys that are placed at weird places.
20:01 Lajla: Ahh, figures.
20:01 eli: (And some Windows key combination that makes it switch to hebrew, and since I don't know what it is, I have to restart my viewer when it happens...)
20:01 Lajla: My keyboard switches to nagari or Russian all the time too
20:01 Lajla: eli, ctrl+shift?
20:02 eli: Ah, Alt+Shift.
20:02 Lajla: Almost good enough
20:02 eli: I could disable that, but it will probably confuse the hell out of my mother....
20:02 Lajla: computers confuse mothers man
20:05 ebering: eli: no, I know nothing. well other than to dump an abstract representation at a perl program
20:08 eli: ebering: Ah, there's a perl library that works on linux?  Do you know how well it works?  (If it's robust, it will be a good reference point for doing whatever they're doing.)
20:08 ebering: http://search.cpan.org/~sburke/MIDI-Perl-0.8/lib/MIDI.pm
20:08 ebering: dunno how well it works
20:09 ebering: but it exists and seems to be written by a linuxer
20:09 ebering: it only does file output
20:09 eli: Bah.
20:09 ebering: but that is what I want
20:09 ebering: so I am happy
20:09 eli: File output is very easy.
20:09 j3parker: sad that impromptu will never be portable
20:10 ebering: eli: oh?
20:10 eli: In any case, to do file output you don't even need a library -- it's just time-stamped 3-byte midi events.
20:10 eli: Unless you're looking for something more high-level on top of that kind of functionality.
20:11 ebering: eli: something slightly more high level
20:12 eli: Well, we don't have anything in that area then.  Looking at that package, things like scores and combining tracks etc would be what I'm thinking of.
20:13 ebering: yea, that is what I need
20:13 ebering: well, my old friend perl will once again serve some glue role
20:14 eli: FWIW, it should be relatively easy to do such things.  I'd ask more about what you need, except that I have a pillow that I'm going to meet in exactly 10 seconds.
