Written by

There's a new StarPy release up on SourceForge. This has a couple of bug-fixes along with menu enhancements so that menu options can have an "onSuccess" callback specified which is called before returning from the menu option. Likely be tweaking that a bit more as I work on projects with the package.
Long day of talking (Pleasant that...)

Spent the day on Asterisk, first manning the TAUG booth at Linux world, then the TAUG meeting, and then the dinner afterward. Seneca got me all sorts of cool swag, include a Tux coin bank. I think I'll likely work at home tomorrow to save the commute time. Spent quite a bit of time talking ...
Poor Poems
Written by

Sometimes you look back
At yesterday's poor poems
Without much sympathy

I've been working on a new project that integrates with Cinemon these past few work-days. The first day was pretty much taken up with factoring the common code out of Cinemon that I want to use with the new project. That's all the web-site and application setup stuff that's really pretty generic "I want an ...
I Have Looked

I have looked
It wasn't my intention
Her hands drew my attention
Tying up some knitted thing
Unleashing some dark knotted beast
I had thought locked deep within
Fascinated wordlessly
By the trivial in compare
With her mind and heart
Yet still I could barely push away
The unheard almost-thoughts
That crowded round behind my ...
Beauty on My Shoulder
Written by

Why do the words flow so smooth
On the nights the lady visits
Is it truly just that beauty
Sits upon my shoulder
Whispering sweet nothings
To keep my heart from breaking
Knowing she is not for me
Is it the vast gulf of safety
Knowing she is far beyond me
That lets me see ...
The Pointless Begging
Written by

Perfect ladies must grow weary
Of the endless pointless begging
For their number or their favour
So I would try not to bother
Yet my heart demands her presence
So I join the pointless crowding
Just another in the chorus
Who would be her solace source
Caught Looking

I caught myself looking
And I looked away
But my eye wandered
When I wasn't looking
And was caught again
Written for their Ear

They say women love to hear
Poems written for their ear
Yet each line is hard wrought
Skirting stench of something sought
To try to honour the perfect rose
Without the bloom a threat to pose
The Rain
Written by

What about that woman
Makes me want to talk
Yet stops up my tongue
That any other day
Flows to shame the rain
