Sat Sep 17 18:58:04 2011 GMT: Google Groups worse than Yahoo Groups
Both of these try to convince you that you need a Google/Yahoo account to join a group, but while in the case of Yahoo Groups, they mention the alternative e-mail subscription address on the group information page, Google has this information well hidden in the help.
But as usually read these groups via Gmane, I like to set it to no e-mail. This is possible with Yahoo Groups even if you don't have a Yahoo account, but it's apparently impossible with Google Groups (unless you join the group via a Google account).
Maybe Yahoo was just too busy with other things so they couldn't mess up their Yahoo Groups more...
Sun Sep 11 18:49:08 2011 GMT: Python Development
Just been doing some Python stuff, mainly updating JabRSS to use scoped locking (via Python's "with" statement). These changes were long overdue now, but of course, that feature wasn't supported when I initially developed JabRSS almost 10 years ago now.
And I have also started playing with Flask, which looks quite nice and is more modular than Django.
Sat Aug 27 18:28:11 2011 GMT: U.S. Trip
I have just returned from a 2-week trip to the U.S. (just ahead of hurricane Irene hitting New York). Some pictures are now available for Bloomington, IN (where I attended the C++ Standards Committee Meeting) and there are some more pictures from a few days holiday from New York: part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5, part 6 and part 7.

Just been to a performance of Hair at the St. James Theatre on Broadway as I managed to get one of their lottery tickets for $27 (in the second row, so excellent view).
Wed Aug 24 03:25:38 2011 GMT: Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark @ Foxwoods Theatre on Broadway
I have just been to Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark on Broadway. I was not too impressed by the story, but the special effects and high-flying stunts were quite nice. And, of course, I managed to get a discounted rush ticket (as regular prices just seem to be ridiculous)...
