We're starting to get an embarrassment of OpenGL bindings. PyOpenGL 3.x, Pyglet, Nokia's OpenGL ES and Shane's C-based binding (generated with gccxml) come to mind. PyOpenGL is AFAIK the only PyOpenGL 2.x compatible one, but there really seems to be an interest in the auto-generated C-style interfaces for small projects.

Ian Bicking and I are ...

Been practicing the presentation for much of the day. Also met a friendly student and we had lunch with David and Evelyn. I'm getting very high energy around now... yay!

Got the missing cable from Canada Computers today to get the SATA drive installed in the workstation. One of the ATA drives started giving DMA failures last week and this was to be the replacement drive. Problem is the silly thing doesn't work.

Well, more precisely, it doesn't seem to work with the motherboard in ...

The reality of being just 2.5 days away from leaving (and thus having to have the month's work wrapped up) is beginning to sink in. Also just realised it's only 7 days, not 10 (February being rather short). I'm expecting I'll need to sit in the lobby late a couple of nights getting work done ...
