Spent the rest of the evening on the VOIP platform, mostly going through the whole process of registering someone, setting up the hardware, testing that the hardware works, that they can call, that they can get voicemail, and little things like that. It did not go spectacularly well. I think many of the problems were ...

As mentioned a few weeks ago, had a few interesting ideas for new companies. We're looking into one of those now, bringing in friends with experience in starting and running larger companies to kick the tires and tell us what's needed to get to the next step. It's rather fun.

The weird thing is that, ...

Very frustrating evening here. Had one of those "oh, heck, I should save this since I've put so much effort into it" moments, you know the ones. You're sure the software is supposed to be doing a backup in the background, but still, you don't want to rely on that.

Oh well, hit save, hunt ...

I've been so busy lately that I haven't even looked at the OpenGL folder (the 124 unread messages count is scaring me). So, rather than do something useful and see what people are asking about, I decided to do some coding on OpenGL-ctypes. Basically I decided to get the image-handling working.

Didn't quite get there. ...

I've just spent the last few hours building event-logging functionality into the VOIP front-end. Turned out to be far less painful than I'd thought it would be. There were a few places where I had to do some funky code to provide a formatted note regarding what had been done, but in most places the ...

Had one of those days. Lots of pointless, stupid little details, the kind of thing that should really be getting handed off to someone who enjoys fiddling with everything until they achieve perfection. In the same day I came up with 2 ideas that are both marketable business plans, things that address an immediate widespread ...

I wound up stopping work on making TwistedSNMP work with PySNMP 4.x today. I had work on the VOIP project that needed doing, but that wasn't why I stopped.

Sometimes when you're faced with a task there are two (or more) mutually exclusive approaches, both of which will take a long time to implement. You ...

As well as rather a lot of reading code and RFCs I started into coding today. First task was to replace the asyncore communications loop with a Twisted Protocol object. Once I got straight which pieces actually relate to the system, and which are part of the asyncore loop it worked fairly well. Gave up ...

Spending a few minutes trying to get the Numpy regression worked out. Confirmed that it really was a problem and then went to submit a bug report only to read that 23.8 had fixes for bugs with 64-bit machines. With 23.8 we no longer crash in OpenGLContext with OpenGL-ctypes (well, not in the same place ...

Spent the half of the day after the management meeting pouring over the PySNMP codebase, trying to decide whether to use PySNMP 4.x or whether to try to teach PySNMP-se 3.5.x how to handle full-featured Agent-side operations. Still no particular resolution. PySNMP 4.x will require some surgery to work with TwistedSNMP, but it does have ...
