Dale's Anti-Language Lawyer Rule
I missed today's OCI internal C++ lunch meeting. However I caught the email thread that ensued about a piece of C++ code, the meaning of which was not agreed upon in the meeting. Kevin, the good C++ language lawyer he is, checked the standard and send out the email. Dale followed up on the email:

I just thought the world would be a better place if more people followed Dale's rule.
Impressed by Groovyblogs.org
Graeme Rocher: That Grails site building phenomenon Glen Smith, the man who brought us Grails+Lucene powered search engine Groogle, has completed his Grails 20 hour challenge to build a feature rich blog aggregator.
The result, although still requiring some minor tweaks, is impressive. Well done Glen! Grails-powered Groovyblogs.org has (almost) arrived!
Although not officially launched, the site looks impressive. I signed up. (It's a good thing that my Pebble blog engine [Update: not mine, but Simon Brown's Pebble blog engine that I'm using to power this blog] has tag specific feeds in Navigate->Tags.)
