I saw Bjorne Stroustrup give a lecture as part of the New York City Google TechTalks. Pretty interesting stuff. More updates to the language that I was expecting. Some much desired features too.
Two downsides:
- the language is going to be that much more complicated. I’m looking at you, seperate meta-type system for controlling templates
- it took so long for the STL and templates to get good enough support, I doubt I’ll see any of this until 2015

I finally signed up for a twitter account today after some prodding from my friend.
I gotta say, I’m not really feeling it. As a programmer, I really don’t want to see constant notifications distracting me and taking me out of the zone. And if I hide Twitterrific and set the update timer to 10 minutes, what’s the point?
Right now, the best use of Twitter is as a distributed notification framework, like Growl, but the notifications show up on your cellphone.
This would be an excellent feature for someone to add to Lingon.
