'''Remember'''

2006-04-25: I asked about [heredoc] like functionality on c.l.tcl because I did something with [heredoc]s at work. I am not particularly drawn to [heredoc]s but I thought it was cool. Tcl does it without any special mojo:

 #!/bin/sh
 # The next line is executed by /bin/sh, but not tcl \
 exec tclsh "$0" ${1+"$@"} 

 # 1 issue -- There will be a blank line at the top and bottom
 # 2 issue -- The type quoting used with a Perl heredoc determines variable interpolation

 set v1 [exec whoami]
 set v2 [exec date]

 set msg "
 This will be a long multi-line message. 
 
 The variables \$v1 and \$v2 will interpolate in here as well.

 This is who I am logged in as:  $v1

 This is the date:  $v2
 "

 puts $msg
 

'''News'''

   * none

'''Things I like'''

   * I love the Tcl community
   * I like that Tcl is different from other dynamic languages syntax wise
