“Let’s do the time warp again…” a delayed posting covering the
last week in March.
Some quotes on quoting, and substituting something for
substitutions:

Exec’ing in the background – friend or foe? Some thoughts and
observations on deviant exec behavior:
http://x24.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=604514605
Does anyone have JINI in a bottle for Tcl? A few considerations
are uncorked and passed around:

A Thread on Threads, forking off into methods of implementation
within current extensions:
http://x46.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=604369898
A box, or a box within a box within a box… discussions on
redundancy within ‘package require’:
http://x40.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=602334625
From the “I’m sure we’ve talked about this before, but..”
department – What do you use to write your scripts that gives you
syntax checking/highlighting? More folks want to know…

Winner of the “mutant thread” award, it starts out as a
discussion on automated welcome ‘bots for c.l.t., but gets
occasionally meta-physical with some help from Laurent, Bob, and
Andreas ‘The Dragon’:

In the “it’s not a religious discussion, honest” department,
thoughts and personal views on Tcl and Java comparisons.

In the “well, it might have been useful if I wrote up the
Tcl-URL on time” department – the Silicon Valley Tcl Users Group
was to be held April 4. No URL provided, because unless you have a
[before] command, it already happened.
As Wierd Al Yankovic would say – “Ya wanna be a hacker,
code-cracker, slacker?” The Michael McLennan “Who wants to be a
tcl-hacker” contest/gameshow files are available for download:
