So, of course, I had a big demo today and, you guessed it, DrScheme wouldn't load. I had already rolled back to 4.1.5 because this code doesn't run under 4.2 (or 4.2.1) - we're tracking that down. I reloaded PLT Scheme, etc., but that didn't work. Eventually, I looked here and saw the problem. Not being clever enough to just change the date on my laptop, I downloaded 4.1 and ran the demo under it - which meant loading all my PLaneT packages, etc. But, the demo was successful in the end.<br>
<br>Anyway, I was wondering if we could get a list of all the developer's birthdays and significant holidays - Easter (obviously it has to have an Easter egg or what would be the point), Thanksgiving, Texas Independence Day, Talk Like a Pirate Day, etc - so we can schedule demos around them.<br>

DrScheme is broken today - it doesn't start up. (4.1.5 and 4.2 are also<br>
broken the same way.) I assume it's because of Eli's birthday? (If<br>
that's the case: Happy Birthday, Eli!)<br>

<br>
The reason is that the code that is conditionalized on (eb-bday?) in<br>
drscheme-normal.ss makes the splash code want to access the splash<br>
bitmap, but that bitmap isn't set until the call to `start-splash',<br>
which comes only after it. This appears to be fixed in the trunk, but I<br>
don't see offhand by what revision, so I don't know if it's already in<br>
the release code.<br>
