Tcl Shocker

The article Tcl the misunderstood does a good job explaining most of Tcl's features. But some things can shock most programmers. Things that could fulfill the perverted dreams of a PHP user: $ tclsh % set a pu pu % set b ts ts % $a$b "Hello World" Hello World But don't let this stop you from learning/using Tcl.It's still a nice glue language.

Important fact on the IMDB: 36

36 is the body count in The Dark Knight. ;-) Batman Begins only had 18. Rambo 236!

ARE YOU MAD??

On 2008-04-29 I wrote Update your Flash! because a lot of users still used a vulnerable version of Adobe Flash. Date of the Security Bulletin: 2008-04-08 On 2008-05-28 I wrote Deactivate your Flash!, because the first announcements said that all versions of Adobe Flash are affected by an exploit. This information was updated later: Only old versions are affected. The current version 9.0.124.0 is OK (for now). So, now it's 2008-06-07 and I checked 4 sites on Google Analytics....

Want to learn programming or just another programming language?

PLT Scheme is a nice implementation of the Scheme language. The upcoming version 4.0 will include many things that make programming and learning to program easy. The Tour in Video announces a 10 minute short YouTube video showing the programming environment DrScheme (belongs to PLT Scheme). This beats SLIME, IMHO.

Deactivate your Flash!

First I said "Update your Flash!" and now even the most current version isn't enough: Adobe Flash zero-day exploit in the wild (ZDNet)Bug in Flash 9 being exploited by hackers (Intology) The current (unsecure) version is 9.0.124.0. No update available at this moment. IMPORTANT UPDATE: 9.0.124.0 isn't vulnerable to this exploit

Mozilla's Add-Ons Site supports Compatibility Ranges again!

In Mozilla's Add-Ons Site redesigned I was a bit disappointed, because I wasn't able to see if my favorite add-ons will still work with Firefox 3 anymore. The redesign removed the information about the compatibility of an add-on. A minor revision of the add-ons site has now restored this information. Check it yourself. Visit the NoScript page, scroll down a bit, and there you are: Works with: Firefox: 1.5.0.4 - 3....
