Hacking: new 0.4.2 release of templ. Has a minor bug fix to the Python implementation. I uncovered the bug while plugging the templ 0.4.1 impl into my other project, levitt. If you need a templating system with implementations in four languages (Python, Tcl, Java, C#), you know where to go.

Work: now working on a .Net C# WinForms project, which is a pleasure. This is my second major C# project, and I'm really warming to C# as a language. What with properties, attributes, delegates and events, there's a bit more meat for an old C++er than Java.

Reading: more war reading - Anthony Beevor's Berlin, the downfall. It's excellent - fluent prose giving a mixture of personal stories, reportage on the Nazi and Soviet leaderships, and military history.
