The heat got turned on in the building a few days ago. This is one of those old buildings that doesn't have individual apartment control of the (steam) heat so they have to turn the temperature up so that the coldest apartment in the building has a reasonable temperature. Unfortunately that means that many of ...

I want to be with you
Because when you are gone
Bitter tears will streak my face
And I will curse not being there
Yet somehow this cold world
Does not allow excuses
As trivial as life and death
To interfere with daily drudgery

Sands trickle
From glass
Heart shards
Marking stolen
Time lost

Managed to convince the MSToolkit toolchain to create a binary for SimpleParse, though it required manually copying the individual commands distutils was spitting out and running them from the command line. Bah.

Apparently the MSToolkit as I have it set up always tries to run the linker and fails. There is also some problem with ...

Spent the day doing mock-up of a Voicemail configuration and "viewing" web-site in Turbogears. Still just early moments, such little things as actually hooking it up to Asterisk realtime and the like haven't been touched, I'm just populating the tables it requires. I like the jsonify mechanism, makes it easy to define how to linearise ...

A few changes to the Win32 platform module and a few tweaks to deal with problems on Win32 (particularly with one of the image-packing settings that gets rejected as invalid, but which is just a belt-and-suspenders setting anyway).

Considerable number of the OpenGLContext demos are now working on Win32. I'll need to get various (compiled) ...

I added the ability to set a flag on the numpy format handler to raise errors when a numpy array is passed in that requires a copy to be passed to ctypes. The idea is that you can use it to catch unwanted copying (during development). Found quite a few instances in OpenGLContext where I ...

Probably the easiest approach is to just give you (Josh) developer access to the PyOpenGL project for development work. (Josh is doing the Mac OS-X porting work).

I've added the missing arrayhelpers module to the project that Josh pointed out. Modifications to the error module from this weekend were intended to address the problems on ...

I thought Rose had asked me to stay home today to meet the new dog-walker. They didn't show up (I probably got the wrong day). Anyway, was really tired in the morning, so didn't get up until the puppy asked me to go out. Took him out, read news and email in preparation for starting ...

I've just completed testing the new mail server setup. It's basically identical to the setup on my home workstation, save that it's for both Rose and I (and it's running on a dedicated (if low-spec) machine).

Outlook (which Rose uses from her XP laptop) doesn't seem to handle network interruptions very well, it hangs and ...
