QOTW: "Also, I have stopped calling my TCL programs 'scripts'. I have

of scripts as being trivial programs." -- Bud Beacham
"[T]ypes are almost always just values stuck in a rut." -- Donal Fellows
POTW: "Jim is a small footprint implementation of the Tcl programming
language", by the author, among other delights, of hping.

Thanks to Arjen Markus for his report from the Wiki(s):
With Europe firmly in the grip of "King Winter", the Wiki remains
the warm place we love so much! Here is the summary.
A lot of applications ...
- Would you believe it? An actual neural network on the Wiki -
check out <http://wiki.tcl.tk/8751>
- Managing copy-n-paste under Linux: use this clipboard -
<http://wiki.tcl.tk/13651>
- Put on your 3D goggles: here is a visualisation tool for
3D data - <http://wiki.tcl.tk/7146>
- From data model to diagram to SQL code - save yourself
the trouble of typing that code - <http://wiki.tcl.tk/11998>
- Tile is being used in more applications than you might
think. Have a look: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/13636>
A lot of games
- First of all there is this collection ... <http://wiki.tcl.tk/13404>
- Then there is this number puzzle ... <http://wiki.tcl.tk/13272>
A few other things
- The discussion goes on ... How do we market Tcl?
<http://wiki.tcl.tk/13216>
- The confusion about "closures" - I do not know if this will
help, but it sure has some info ... <http://wiki.tcl.tk/3330>
- Parallel ports, serial ports, I see the discussions on the newsgroup
and I never know the one from the other. But: <http://wiki.tcl.tk/2816>
for anyone who does!
- I cannot resist including this little gem: 3D bar charts ...
