Discussions of programming, particularly of programming Python
I hate it when I introduce bugs without realising it (How long... has this b'n goin' on...)

Spent most of the day sleeping... just catching up on the week's sleep deficit, really. Around the various naps I've been trying to figure out what's gone wrong with OpenGLContext. Every other time it tries to do a swap buffers (in any of the GUI libraries) the swap occurs, but then reverts to the original ...
Should mention that, I suppose (Not that Bryan and Tim read this all that much any more...)

Today was pretty much just focussed on more documentation for Cinemon. Did some work on a 2.0 feature as well, adding support to TwistedSNMP for "tail"-ing SNMP tables that grow (at their end).
Mmm wiki-docs!
Oh, the day... (Telescoping work)

Spent the whole working day on documentation, but wound up starting really late due to spending hours on various system administration stuff. Hands are chutneyed, though not as bad as lately, have been consciously trying to reduce the force with which I type. Don't know if it's helping or if I'm just less tense than ...
Try again on the KDE build (This time with flag to rebuild for new USE flags)

The new KDE build has been failing on my machine, with what looks like unresolved symbols for an underlying library. Will let that run tonight.
Spent the bulk of the day on documentation, though Tim dropped in to work on debugging a Twisted problem (turns out PyOpenSSL wasn't installed on the new box) for a ...
Egads that PyOpenGL folder is getting scary (6 dozen todo items before I start working on code...)

Just realising that there's a heck of a lot of material piling up in the PyOpenGL folder, mostly support requests or bug reports that will each take an hour or two to answer... guess I need to dedicate a weekend to PyOpenGL & friends some time soon.
Links to Nevow examples (Random googled links department...)

Just stumbled across this page during a Google search trying to figure out how to set a nevow tag property after creation. Seems to be a fairly large set of Nevow sample code. Will have to go through it and see if there's anything new beyond the regular Nevow example code. Hmm, looking closer ...
Oh, about the editor project... (Apparently there are other such projects at the moment)

Ah, back to the world of Mikey (Looking back at the week of PyCon...)

Well, I appear to have arrived back in Toronto. Last day of the conference was nice enough, though I wish the Google keynote had a bit more detail. Got to sit next to a very beautiful woman through it, so I suppose I can't complain too much ;) . As a note on the talk, ...
PyCon presentation (So the magic isn't lost...)

I've just posted my PyCon presentation slides Descriptors: From functional wart to decorator madness via properties. Enjoy all.
Laptops that melt and other PyCon trivia (Very pleasant evening eating and hacking once the presentation was done...)

Went to the business dinner last night, as one of the two VexTech delegates. Was a very pleasant evening, big gathering as normal. After it was done (around 10:00) D'Arcy and I wandered over to the conference centre again to look for people with whom to talk.
Wound up spending the evening hacking on a ...
