Those features you just want to avoid (Impedence mismatch is a powerful disincentive...)
Written by

I've been avoiding one of the features on the todo list for the VoIP project for quite a while, mostly because it seemed poorly defined and not particularly useful. Decided to just go ahead and bash through it yesterday. Still not finished, but the poorly defined part is done, the rest is just figuring out ...
To Fix Warm Words

To bring light back to this world
Requires a philosophy you have
In the past rejected out of hand
To love the universe in whole
To see the patterns playing out
Behind each troubled care-wrought face
To love them for their frailties
For their base unkempt passions
But most for their higher nature
Deep behind ...!-->!-->!-->!-->!-->!-->!-->!-->!-->
Smoke Escapes

A smokestack rises
There across the city
But the air is too cold
The smoke cannot escape
It falls back to the earth
A Ruined Nap (But a very pleasant meal)

Tried to take a nap this afternoon, but the bleeping phone kept ringing. Apparently Rose decided it would be cute to wake me up by calling the house phone from her cell every 15 minutes. Unfortunately, I really needed the sleep.
Luckily, the reason she was wanting to wake me up is because Shiva and ...!-->!-->
Getting OpenGL-ctypes to work with ctypes 0.9.9.3 (Done, sorta, but I don't recall these weird array problems before...)
Written by

At one of those annoying moments in coding where you're not sure if something is a bug in your own code, or one of two different libraries. I've been getting a few problems ironed out with the ctypes 0.9.9.3 release (a tool we were using was removed, but equivalent functionality is there).
The problem is ...!-->!-->
SimpleParse 2.1.0a1 released (3 years after the last release...)
Written by

You know you've got to spend more time on your Open Source projects when you start measuring the period between releases in years.
Anyway, SimpleParse 2.1.0a1 is now out. The actual SimpleParse code is pretty much identical to the 2.0.1 release of way back when. The big difference is that this release includes a forked ...!-->!-->
The Untapped Well in the Back Field
Written by

I can't share it with you
Because it all comes back
As heart-sticking recrimination
And randomly slung blame
That deepest strata of feelings
Below everything I ever was
Where heat and pressure
Applied over geologic time
Turns all to a black muck
Formless and half-forgotten
Clinging to whatever it touches
Burning whenever it feels the ...!-->!-->!-->!-->!-->!-->!-->!-->!-->!-->!-->
New StarPy release with channel-tracking example code (About 61 lines of code...)
Written by

in
Snaking.
There's a new StarPy release up. This fixes the reported data-file installation problem, adds a bit more documentation for a few functions, and fixes a shallow error in one of the sample applications. More interestingly, it also includes sample code for tracking total PRI usage, see the priexhaustion.py script in the examples directory and the ...
StarPy to the rescue (Or, my day in auditing...)
Written by

Snaking.
I've spent much of the last two days working on an auditing and reporting mechanisms to let people know when we're getting close to PRI exhaustion. Following the advice of the back-end wizards, who don't see the necessity of having the tools, (the security/financial problems being lost on them) I've been cobbling together a CDR-analysis ...
A Perfect Day (rev)

The first drops of a summer thunderstorm
Roll off my battered old trench coat
The doors and windows are open to the wind
Clearing the black smoke from the air
You've been playing with your toys again
Building robots from magnets in old TVs
The storm builds outside the empty windows
As your Frankenstein creation ...!-->!-->!-->!-->!-->!-->!-->
