Interesting concept. It's basically a PPP report, I was used to do it with my investors. PPP stands for Progress/Problems/Plan. Would like to try it with my team to see if it's effective.

no macros? I'm no expert and I'm asking to experts: macros are one of the key features of Lisp. Should macros have helped reducing LOC or improving maintainability?

it's a pleasure to hit them! but they are moving to island-style keyboards: http://www.wired.com/reviews/2012/06/lenovo-thinkpad-x230/

(btw i binded caps lock to ESC with `xmodmap -e 'clear Lock' -e 'keycode 0x42 = Escape'`, much better for VIM)

I'm on a Lenovo T420s, it's a pretty solid machine. This is my first ThinkPad and I really love the screen resolution and the feeling with the keyboard, the keys are just amazing and if you are a developer I think this is one of the most important features. I oned a MacBook (the white and cheap one) and an iBook, but the "physicity" of this laptop is really good. Moreover you have 2 USB 2.0 and 1 USB 3.0 that you cannot find on an Apple product.

I'm using it with Fedora 17, everything works pretty well but you need some tweaking to optimize the power consumption while on battery.
