I guess I am in a writer's block lately. I sit down at the keyboard and nothing comes. I want to write about new things and not just point to links but nothing really comes. A lot of that comes from not writing crap or just anything. With all of the things expected from one of my posts lately, I end up feeling like I can't write anything at all unless it's profound. Actually not even for New and Notables. Anyhow, for now, it hit 94 degrees here today! The worst part is that it hit 88 inside the work place because the AC broke. Yuck.
Many people blogged about the release of the Visual C++ Toolkit but I read it first from my friend and long-suffering MC++ comrade and MVP Tomas. I know that this MSFT team has lofty goals beyond the Windows platform and the full free release to the community of the full C++ optimizing compiler and linker, and the static linking CRT and standard C++ library (with STL) is a big step in the right direction.
David Ornstein has released a new build of my favorite Wiki engine, FlexWiki. The interesting thing in this buid is the inclusion of the WikiTalk language, “a simple object-oriented language that advanced users can use to add dynamic behavior to their FlexWiki topics,“ described as “It's a bit like Smalltalk, a bit like .NET and a bit like Wiki.“
