Mon Oct 17 07:58:19 2011 GMT: Autumn in Salzburg Sat Oct 15 06:50:35 2011 GMT: Ubuntu 11.10 Upgrade Sat Oct 08 19:19:15 2011 GMT: Limen / Marguerite and Armand / Requiem @ Royal Opera House Today I have been to Limen / Marguerite and Armand / Requiem at the Royal Opera House. I should have paid a bit more attention to the notes where they mention "contemporary thrill" for Limen - "modern rubbish" would be more accurate. Anyway, it got better after the first interval and the Requiem in particular was quite good. Sat Sep 24 23:10:54 2011 GMT: Faust @ Royal Opera House Just been at a production of Faust at the Royal Opera House. This one was very different from the one I went to last year at the ENO. 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.
