DTrace and C++

Solaris DTrace isn't that C++ friendly. The SDT provider doesn't work with C++ programs. But I have fortunately managed to find a workaround. Not pretty, but it works.

OOXML vs. ODF

Do I care whether OOXML becomes standardized? I don't. Why - because I think that it's basically a mistake to standardize a format that conflates presentation and content. In that respect, standardizing ODF was also a mistake. So I don't pretty much care if another such format is standardized. After discussing the issue a bit over a coffe with a friend, I said that they should have better standardized LaTeX. It seems that I'm not the only one who thinks so.
