BitWorkingTheories on software development.Simple rules building complex patterns- (Found July 2, 2008 ) Take a look at the coolness Richard Caetano is drawing up with his TDraw class.http://bitworking.org/2002/06/14.html#a199 Would you like some meta-code with that runtime- (Found July 2, 2008 ) Very cool news from Peter Drayton: Traffic on another list I'm on suggested that not everyone knows that MS Research is already busy adding generics to the Rotor execution engine. It should be out long before the commercial EE gets upgraded to support generics, and will be a great way to start playing with the technology early. The F language compiler already supports emitting generic-ized IL, too. Peter Drayton's Radio Weblog The lack of generics is one of the two weaknesses in .NET and it is..http://bitworking.org/2002/06/18.html#a206 Woo-Hoo!- (Found July 2, 2008 ) I was down to just one web site that I read regularly that I could not get into Aggie and that site was Textism.

You see, my DSL service only works on my machine when it is booted into Windows ME. I have tried unsuccessfully to get my DSL connection to work under Windows 2000. My machine does dual-boot into Windows 2000 which I must do to compile Aggie since the C compiler only works under Windows NT, 2000 or XP. So my standard development cycle is code, reboot into Win2k, compile, reboot into WinME, test. I have new hardware on...http://bitworking.org/2002/06/16.html#a202 Aggie in SourceForge- (Found July 2, 2008 ) I have been approved and Aggie is now being hosted on SourceForge. Please stop by and submit a patch, submit a feature request, submit a bug report, pull the latest sources from cvs, etc. I have tried to add all the bugs and enhancement requests I have seen to date. Please stop by and make sure I haven't missed anything.http://bitworking.org/2002/06/16.html#a201 Best wishes for a speedy recovery- (Found July 2, 2008 ) Here is an update on my friend and boss Dave Winer. He is in the hospital and will remain there until next weekend. To those that are sending notes, he should be OK, but in the meantime send positive healing thoughts in his direction. He will be providing more details when he is able.
