Announcement: DonationCoder.com Has Been Sold to Apple

Good news!
Yesterday I had a long conversation with Steve Jobs, and he has made an offer to buy DonationCoder.com!

Now some of you may have heard me slagging off Apple and Steve Jobs before, but that was all in the past.  Now that I am part of the Apple family I love them.

Everything you know and love about DonationCoder.com will stay the same, except for a few minor changes:
  • All MS Windows-based versions of our software will be discontinues as of April 4th.
  • All current software will be ported to the Apple iPhone.
  • The official website url will be changing to iDonationCoder.com
  • All about boxes will now show a photo of Stever Jobs with a glowing Halo above his head.
  • Our software will only be available on iTunes and will cost $500 per license.


Alternatives to Google Groups for Usenet?

A member asks:

Does anyone remember when ISPs provided feeds to hundreds of newsgroups?  Google Groups is not the same as a dedicated reader such as Free Agent, but I can't find a server these days.  :mad:

A lot of the old groups seem to be dying, but I'm still subscribed to comp.lang.forth, soc.religion.quaker, talk.origins and soc.history.what-if.

Hacknot on Dynamic Languages

Here's a lengthy, thought-provoking article questioning the hype around dynamic languages like ruby.

Such were my thoughts upon reading a piece in the February 2007 edition of IEEE Computer entitled "Programmers Shift to Dynamic Languages"1 by one Linda Dailey Paulson. The article's basic premise is that dynamic languages (DLs) are experiencing something of a renaissance at the moment. Even though DLs such as Perl and PHP have been around for many years, with the recent advent of Ruby, DLs have become the hot new thing.
