A guy known as '''XO''', e'''X'''tra '''O'''ld in Cyberspace, at the age of 55, it's considered extra old in this part of the world, if one still gets hands dirty, coding something. I lecture in Fu-Jen Catholic University [http://www.fju.edu.tw], and is also a co-founder & CTO of a small design house, CQ Inc. [http://www.cqinc.com.tw] About five years ago(refering to year 2002), began very much enjoying the scripting language, especially [Tcl]. [Tk] seems even better, however besides using [SpecTcl] building simple [GUI] interfaces for our Tcl scripts, honestly, don't know Tk very much. Did once try [Visual Tcl], however, with all due respect, terrified by the '''complexity of the codes''' generated. I meant to generate a skeleton, and adapted the changes as required, It's simply too complex for me at then to locate the appropriate spots in the generated code for adapting those changes. I also accidentally bought a second hand book, "[BOOK The Visual TCL Handbook, 1/e]", it's about Visual Tcl, however this Visual Tcl is not that [Visual Tcl], a.k.a '''vTcl'''. ^o^ Kind of attracted by the "[jim]", by its small footprint, however still too big for our picMicro based Embedded System. ucLinux / Linux based platforms are currently under surveyed. As of July 2007, we have come up an ARM9 (Samsung 2440 Based) Linux (2.6.18) Module. Leveraging [Starkit]/[Tclkit]/[Starpack], [Metakit] & [Tclhttpd] a lot. On and off, study [OpenACS] for quite sometime. Use [Snit] for our OO. Recently also studying [moodss]. '''Zigbee wireless sensors network''' will be one of our focus areas in the near future. Has been with this wiki for a while, however "[Klant]" is the one who brought me here to this particular page. ---- As of Today (2006/2/18), attracted by [Python], while surfing for a more scripting oriented language to do the system programming, however later being led to [Ruby], and ended up with [Lua] finally, I sincerely hope so, there are simply too many of them ^o^. Benchmark results here [http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/gp4/benchmark.php?test=all] may have something to do with how & why I ended up with [Lua]. Tcl's zero learning curve is certainly a sugar for the end users spicing up whatever they want on our products, there is no doubt about it, what I have been looking for recently, is sort of a more for internal R&D use high level language, but with better performance. So instead of '''Tcl + C''', I am shooting for '''Tcl + Lua'''. '''Lux''' [http://www.equi4.com/lux/] comes in handy, however seems like a little bit old, it's done some time in 2001. Still try to catch up with the '''Moon''' (Oops, I mean [Lua]) by burning the midnight oil, grinding my nose on the book: '''Programming in Lua''' [http://www.lua.org/pil/], a.k.a. Blue PiL, very well written book BTW. ---- As of 2007/7/19, get involved with [TclBlend], [Jacl], [Aejaks]. ---- Try entering Chinese --> (3g) see if it's working. Yeah! It does show up my Chinese name correctly. ^o^ [Wikit] executed under [ActiveTcl] seems OK with Chinese. However ... Chinese won't show inside '''WhipIt''' executed via [Tclkit]. (I manually inserted [encoding] cp950 into tclkit.) WhipIt invokes '''''wikit.kit''''' from within, and makes a combo service of '''Tclhttpd''' + '''wikit'''. (Please refer to [Wikit run in a Slave Interpreter on TclHttpd]) I used to have the same problem when using Will Duquette's [Notebook App], however after I put cp950.enc to encoding folder, Chinese works just fine. Kind of strange though, this hyperlink on url --> [http://eoffice.im.fju.edu.tw/phpbb] doesn't seem to "behave itself" inside the following Chinese block. As one can see [[htp://eoffice.im.fju.edu.tw/phpbb] turned into a "g" character followed by the hyperlink shown in full url. Finally found out why, there must be at least one '''space''' after the closing bracket in order to make the url hyperlink work. ---- Start of a block in Chinese...
