• Grant Cheston details his experiences in - ``getting a moderate size collection of Eiffel projects to run on ISE Eiffel, Visual Eiffel and SmallEiffel'' - NICE is working hard at addressing these issues.

• Sven submit's a link to GTI's Linux Gnome Desktop for Windows

• Pragmatic Programmer Dave Thomas took his life in his hands - presented Ruby to the local Perl Monger's chapter. It went very well: they were very receptive to the ideas behind Ruby, and we all had a great time

Worked on ccl's PROGRESSBAR control with some success. Further testing is required before commiting to the CVS.

Used SmallEiffel to generate a dll from a simple test class using lcc-win32. Loaded the resulting dll from a C program and called a function successfully. On the second invocation, the program crashed. Will look into further, but this is a good start - must writeup details! Starting resources include Dynamic Libraries With C++ (for win32/Linux) (highly recommended), SmallEiffel dll summary and Jacob Navia's excellent lcc-win32 documentation.
