I am happy to see that Microsoft responses to multi core challenges with a new weapon – a new programming language targeted towards concurrency named Axum (previously code named Maestro). As Erlang lover and .NET developer, I am really curious what is behind and looking forward to play with it (it will be hard job to convince me that Erlang  is not best in this area ).

Mono Project meet a major milestone – Mono 2.0. There are many new features that were added. Especially Linq and ASP.NET 2.0 are technologies, that I am looking forward to use also in Mono.

Well I announced my personal WP Weekend, couple of weeks ago. And if you noticed it you are maybe curious about its results or outputs. I did some migration for WP 2.5.1 for all webs that I am running and maintaining and it also forced me to upgrade all plugins that I made (not only that public ones;)). It was quite a loot of work, but I did it. Work is not complete yet, because there are 2 more plugins left for migration. I believe that I will release new versions of my public plugin this weekend. Please if you are interested return in a three or four days for updates.

Happy blogging

New Christmas (as usual) version of Ruby Language is here. It has many new features like new virtual machine (YARV), encoding support and many more. This version is not meant to be a production release rather development. I am looking forward to give it a try .
