Victor Ng's Radio Weblogarmed with cocoa, an ibook and too much spare timeRide for Heart stuff- April 30, 2003 I'm doing the Ride for Heart this year - we've got 14 people going this year. Yay! So sponsor me! All you gotta do is click over here and submit your credit card info to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Ian and I tried riding the bikes today - it's too damn cold. What the hell is with this weather It was HOT when we left the GO train station, but 30 minutes later it's down right chilly. I want my summer and I want it now.http://radio.weblogs.com/0108956/2003/04/29.html#a109 No you idiots... I'm still programming- April 30, 2003 The reports of my demise have been greatly exaggerated. I am still programming. I'm just not programming technically hard stuff anymore. Now I'm doing things that are complicated from a business standpoint. I like it better this way. My brain gets tired when I try to figure out yet-another-useless-protocol. That and I'm shit at writing those damn things.

I took my bicycle out for a spin today - I'm supposed to be practicing since I just signed up a dozen people for the Ride for Heart. Oh - here's my Google Vanity of the day Becel Ride For Heart on Google shows a mugshot of me and the rest of the folks who went riding last year. Freaky. The fact that I am Google's 1 result for a bike event is nothing short of ... well it's just sad. In other.http://radio.weblogs.com/0108956/2003/04/15.html#a107 Python database adapter for Filemaker- April 10, 2003 Hey kids - it's software release day. I've written a small database adapter for Filemaker in Python. You can fetch, update, insert and delete records as well as trigger scripts from the one true scripting language. I've just submitted a request for a sourceforge project, but until then you can find the file "pyfilemaker.tar.gz" here: http:homepage.mac.comvng1FileSharing14.html FYI- the software is licensed under a BSD license.http://radio.weblogs.com/0108956/2003/04/10.html#a106 Zope on Jaguar - Mac OSX- April 7, 2003 I've posted the first release of my Zope installation on SourceForge under the Zope-MacOSX installer subproject. For those who don't know - Zope is an application server platform written in Python. This release includes a couple really nice toys to play with: Python 2.1.3, Python Imaging Library, Zope 2.6.1, PostgreSQL 7.3.2, MySQL 4.0.12 as well as python database adapters for both PostgreSQL an MySQL. Some of you may ask why I bothered - doesn't Fink already include MySQL and PostgreSQL..https://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=151309 Back on the street- April 4, 2003 I'm back! 2 months of no blogging will do weird things to a snarky little pip like me. I've been hacking out Python code again - Zope work. Yay!http://radio.weblogs.com/0108956/2003/04/04.html#a104 |
