So, I'm almost there with the main-page UI rework. Unfortunately, IE is back to dropping the whole of the main view down below the left-side "info boxes", so totally destroys the effect. At the moment I'm using the original "tabular view" layout for the tree, with just the addition of some custom code to render ...

Spent the bulk of the evening working on a complete rethink of the Cinemon UI. The design is definitely showing the influence of Plone. The CSS is pretty rudimentary, but for some reason IE isn't picking up about half of the directives, which makes the design rather... less beautiful. There also seems to be a ...

I've got most the encoding/decoding working, with minimal correctness checks, but without proper test data I'm hesitant to keep moving forward with the project. So, back to Cinemon, in preparation for getting some feedback from Bryan tomorrow.

Including development of the courseware and printing, we were looking at around $6000 for a full 5-day accelerated course for 10 people. That's a chunk of change, yes, but honestly, pulling together the courseware (which for these topics necessitated almost 2-1/2 weeks of un-billable work) means that we were just barely breaking even (though the ...

Spent the last few hours reviewing the Plone tutorial with which I'm trying to help. There's a lot of writing still to do, figure another 4 hours or so, maybe a little less. There's actually some stuff in the sample code that looks like it wants to be refined as well. Not just doc-strings (which ...

I've cobbled a GLUT VRML view that lets you view any of the included .wrl files, or a set of .wrl files from around the net with a simple click. Unfortunately, most of the previously-present VRML97 files are now gone. Web3D.org has moved VRML97 to "legacy" status and dropped the annotated spec (which had some ...

So, in preparation for a 1.0 release of OpenGLContext I figure I should have the VRML viewer demos/tests work like a normal application and allow for selecting the file to load rather than requiring a command-line invocation. I spent a few hours working on some refactoring and then sat down to look at how to ...

First 8 hours of the day basically a complete waste. Woken up way too early by my mother, and then my sister, both of whom so know better, calling at 9 am! Unable to continue sleeping, I went shopping then came home to nap... but the jerky neighbours upstairs are in playing music way too ...

Raphael Ritz has posted a tutorial he wrote giving a guided tour of a fairly involved sample product for Plone. This is a far more involved product (and thus tutorial) than is seen in the Archetypes developer's guide or the Plone Book's chapter on customisation. It feels very similar to this "howto" from Plone.org ...

Tim's now using TwistedSNMP for another project, so finally getting some exercising outside of Cinemon. Have a few more hours before the PyGTA meeting. Probably spend it doing more Plone-docs work. Also need to see how much documenting is needed for the Archetypes Extension Types.
