Where I Use Tcl/Tk
I use Tcl/Tk for all kinds of tasks. Here's few of them:
Tcl Stuff
I finally made myself to finish my old side project: writing a barebone example, how to create shared libraries to extend Tcl with C. The code with explanations can be found here: http://www.iki.fi/mjk/files/test.c.txt . I hope that the text is clear enough to explain what is required and what each thing does in the code.
A Little Rant
I hate scandinavian alphabet! My last name has this fancy character "ä" in it. So of course some browsers try to convert it to UTF-8 format instead of good old ISO-8859-1. OK, normally it's not a problem, but I noticed that the alphabetical list of Tcl Wiki users, which has my name with "ä" in ISO-8859-1 format, screws itself up every time someone makes a change to the page. So, half a time, when someone edits the Tcl'ers page, my name morphs to a hideous UTF-8 monster. It's unpleasant, but not as big problem as the fact that the link to this page will break down. I changed my name to use "a" instead of "ä", so my name will always show up correctly in the listings. Tcl Wiki doesn't seem to handle scandinavian characters very well and it doesn't allow using umlauts (ä etc).
