It's raining reviews

Another review of desktop aggregators, this time by Matthew Eberle, where he compares Aggie, AmphetaDesk, Blagg, Radio Userland, and NewzCrawler.

Would you like some meta-code with that runtime?

Very cool news from Peter Drayton:

Traffic on another list I'm on suggested that not everyone knows that MS Research is already busy adding generics to the Rotor execution engine. It should be out long before the commercial EE gets upgraded to support generics, and will be a great way to start playing with the technology early. The F# language compiler already supports emitting generic-ized IL, too. [Peter Drayton's Radio Weblog]
The lack of generics is one of the two weaknesses in .NET and it is good to see progress in this area. The second weakness is, of course, getting .NET cross-platform, but that is already being worked on.

Woo-Hoo!

I was down to just one web site that I read regularly that I could not get into Aggie and that site was Textism. But that era has passed and now, thanks in part to Mark Pilgrim, Textism has an RSS feed.

It's always good to put a face to a blog

And today that was Rafe Colburn of rc3.org. He is the latest addition to the RTP bloggers and today he's posted a very nice review of Aggie, and no, I didn't bribe him for the good review over lunch ;).

As always, if you're a blogger in the RTP area please drop one of us line and come by the next monthly lunch.
