Voodoo, .Net Installer, and Bliki

Voodoo
In my current position I usually code a few hours per week max. You can always tell when I am coding because I end up talking to myself, muttering death chants, you can smell smoke rising from my area, hear me throwing bones, and basically practicing all around voodoo. My co-workers must think I'm a nut. When I listen to lectures by computer gods such as Donald Knuth I get swept away in a vision of the grand wizards creating realms of mathmatical magic. But I have come to realize that my reality is much more saddistic. I loath the idle machine. I want to bend it's will using my various code torture techniques. Like sitting idle computer? I DONT THINK SO! You will do what I say and I will train you! ;-)

.Net Installer
On a serious note gInstall Corp has released their Ghost Installer for .Net. As I have been looking for a good installer for .Net this couldn't have come at a better time. Check out the comparison to the other products. Looks nice. I'll post my findings once I download the demo.

Bliki
Martin Fowler's new blog (rss) brought to my attention SnipSnap, a Bliki (integrated blog and wiki). I look forward to playing with this as I use Twiki currently for a small knowledge base and I also use this blog. Combining the two would be nice.

How could we combine Twiki and SnipSnap? Ideas appreciated :-)

I think that SnipSnap is fine as it is, the idea of a blog and wiki combined it what intrigues me. If Twiki had a blog then it would be great but SnipSnap as it is is great IMO.

There is a little hack (it's not really a plugin) for TWiki called DiscussionForum that lets you create a TWiki page that looks and functions very similar to Slashdot. It's not exactly a blog, but it's pretty darn close, and in conjunction with the comments plugin it allows commenting.
Go to TWiki.org and search for "DiscussionForum".
