An awful lot of Lisp

Doing a little bit of wc $(find . -name '*.lisp') is kinda frightening; in my Tellme directory, the .lisp files I've written total 13,144 lines (46,621 words, 556,380 characters)*. My libraries have taken a corresponding amount of my time, as I use them at work — another 12,645/42,994/459,236. Another few thousand (somewhere between 2,000 and 5,000, depending on how much reuse counts) went on consulting code.

If you actually add them all up, despite duplication, this tots up to 40,341. Not bad — about 270 LOC survive for every work day I've been at Tellme.

That is, indeed, a lot of Lisp… especially when you consider how much I must have deleted along the way!

* This disregards the 12,552 lines I wrote during the summer, which were the ashes from which many of those 13,144 came.
