I must admit complete and abject defeat. I sent a mock-legalese threatening letter to Lisa wrt her promise to get together and chat. Got back a perfectly formed legal document with threats of litigation, callouts on various poorly formed legal theories, etceteras (no references to case law, however). Shiver. Long and short of the harrowing ...

The annoying crashes during the run of the ping scanner appear to be happening in the middle of a huge chain of PyPgSQL calls, particularly ones that appear to be network related. Going to have to check out twisted.enterprise to see if they had to do something special to make PyPgSQL play nice with Twisted's ...

Frustrated with what look to be weakref crashes in the ping scanner, took a few moments to figure out how to get a ZCatalog-based search installed on the blog here. Built the ZCatalog, added the lexicon and a full-text index, then added in the blog itself... no content indexing occurs... there's no "Coreblog Entry" option ...

Next step is to hook up the simple SVG diagraming code to generate a real-time graph of current status so I can be sure what I'm seeing really is what it appears to be. I've got the core part of the operations "graph" (sort of a cross between a state diagram and a flow chart) ...

Old design notes, a few dozen sketches, that kind of thing. Oh well, soon (maybe even tomorrow night!) I will have a digital camera and can have fun using that for scanning-like operations :) . I'm actually kind of thinking of doing a rogues gallery for the blog here, portraits of the various people being ...

Feeling the need to recharge my enthusiasm for knowledge.

Listened to the next in the philosophy lecture series (I stopped for quite a while there), was good to think at a more abstract level for an hour or so. Was discussing the neo-Aristotelians at Oxford in the Quatrocento (a.k.a. The Rennaissance). Apparently "The Elegant Universe" ...
