Egads that PyOpenGL folder is getting scary (6 dozen todo items before I start working on code...)
Written by

Just realising that there's a heck of a lot of material piling up in the PyOpenGL folder, mostly support requests or bug reports that will each take an hour or two to answer... guess I need to dedicate a weekend to PyOpenGL & friends some time soon.
Customary belly-button gazing (As age creeps away with my youth...)

Something XXX mentioned yesterday, in the context of marrying young (i.e. around 15): "why should men be denied sex at their sexual peak?" which, of course, got me thinking about age and wasted youth. Worse, it got me thinking about mortality and all the ways we try to ensure that we live on beyond this ...
Wow, that took far longer than it should have (Need to get ZPhotoSlides set up somewhere...)

Just got the PyCon photos dumped into a viewable format... it's not pretty, as many of the photos are rotated ninety degrees, but it should all be viewable. Warning: there are a lot of them, that page will be very slow on a dial-up connection! They are also still uploading, it'll probably be 2AM before ...
Ooh, look, pictures! (Well, just the ones from yesterday so far...)

In what has become a tradition, posting more shots of beautiful women to boost our ratings...
Didn't really get any spectacular shots, but this little fragment of the series turned out almost reasonably. There were some really nice shots ruined by blurring :( . Need to figure out a decent low-light shooting strategy for action. ...
Long lunches are pleasant, but they push the day quite late (Thai buffet was well worth it, beautiful female companion was icing on the cake...)

XXX (picture and description withdrawn by request) was in town today (from ZZZ), so she dropped in and took Shane and I out to lunch at a little restaurant around the corner from Shane's place. XXX is a rather beautiful woman, admirable in all sorts of dimensions, so it's always fun to get together with ...
Links to Nevow examples (Random googled links department...)

Just stumbled across this page during a Google search trying to figure out how to set a nevow tag property after creation. Seems to be a fairly large set of Nevow sample code. Will have to go through it and see if there's anything new beyond the regular Nevow example code. Hmm, looking closer ...
Oh, about the editor project... (Apparently there are other such projects at the moment)

Ah, back to the world of Mikey (Looking back at the week of PyCon...)

Well, I appear to have arrived back in Toronto. Last day of the conference was nice enough, though I wish the Google keynote had a bit more detail. Got to sit next to a very beautiful woman through it, so I suppose I can't complain too much ;) . As a note on the talk, ...

I've just posted my PyCon presentation slides Descriptors: From functional wart to decorator madness via properties. Enjoy all.
Laptops that melt and other PyCon trivia (Very pleasant evening eating and hacking once the presentation was done...)

Went to the business dinner last night, as one of the two VexTech delegates. Was a very pleasant evening, big gathering as normal. After it was done (around 10:00) D'Arcy and I wandered over to the conference centre again to look for people with whom to talk.
Wound up spending the evening hacking on a ...
