TWiki: “Perl-based, mature and full featured system, including revision control via CVS, targeting the corporate intranet world — now with plugins”

I’ve just installed TWiki as my new website CMS system. It took a fair effort to setup and a while to design the custom ’skins’ (themes) – but it seems to be doing it’s job now.

You can view it over here. I’ll polish it up in days to come by making it more efficient.

I decided to use a wiki-based system for my site because I like the rapid page creation, feature set and the ability to let others work collaboratively.

PocketGamer is carrying a story on the successful emulation of Windows 95 and Windows 98SE on the Pocket PC. This was made possible by a Pocket PC port of Bochs, a DOS emulator. If you’re keen to try this yourself, you’ll need a minimum of a 256MB memory card (or stream the image over a wireless network) and you’ll need a program like Nyditot Virtual Display to increase your screen resolution. Oh, yes, and you’ll also need the emulator. You can find more information and a selection of screenshots here. Following the porting of a full speed Playstation emulator and Pocket Quake, this really raises the bar for what the Pocket PC is capable of.

Microsoft’s WTL (Windows Template Library) toolkit source code
has been released to SourceForge.net [also part of OSDN, like Slashdot.] InternetNews explains that the toolkit allows a Windows developer to create quick GUIs in C++. According to the project page, WTL extends ATL (Active Template Library) and provides a set of classes for controls, dialogs, frame windows, GDI objects, and more. WTL is licensed under CPL, which is the license Microsoft chose for the SourceForge release of the WiX installer.
