We’re keeping busy here with the simultaneous almost-coincidental presence of three important people: Jennifer (whom I’ve introduced before, our semi-kinda-foster daughter), David (my now-former colleague and doctoral-school friend from way back) and Phil (another beloved friend from Duke days). David’s passing through, packing his house as he prepares to move to a new position at Hope College; Phil’s stopping by on a tour that involves working with the Ekklesia Project and leading several retreats before and after; and Jennifer is checking in for the summer visit. With friendships as rich and long-standing as these (which were sometimes mediated by digital media, way back, for instance, when Phil and I would establish peer-to-peer AppleTalk Remote Access connections and send messages by alternately changing the names of shared files), I have less time for blogging. . . .

And if, in your copious free time, you can swing by the blog, I am preaching heresy again.
Posted by: Tripp at July 29, 2003 07:30 AMThe Stack is just what it sounds like: a tower of things that starts at the bottom and builds upward as it goes. In our case, the things in the stack are called "Stack Frames" or just "frames". We start with one stack frame at the very bottom, and we build up from there.

Posted by: Nathaniel at January 13, 2004 12:44 PMEarlier I mentioned that variables can live in two different places. We're going to examine these two places one at a time, and we're going to start on the more familiar ground, which is called the Stack. Understanding the stack helps us understand the way programs run, and also helps us understand scope a little better.
