PoBK: Mental-note: When configuring network alerts, don’t forget to ignore “Request Timed Out” else you get woken up by packet loss.

Are you a Python Developer?

Messy or not-messy?

Something that really fucks me off about some developers is their code. Some people just don’t know how to write readable code, and it’s these fuckwits that I’m bitching about today.

Yes, you know who you are… You’re the kind of fuckwit that does things like this:

self.name,self.namespace,self.attrs,self.data,self.kids,self.parent = node.name,node.namespace,{},[],[],node.parent

and

if something: return self.method(arg1, arg2, arg3).method(arg4, arg5, arg6)[:self.method(arg1, arg2, arg3).anotherMethod(X, Y, Z)]

(I kid you not on that)

I mean really ...

Something wicked this way comes!

Fun and games in lalaland of Python and Django

Finally!

I’ve managed after a few weeks working on this, here and there, to finally get the ideas and bug fixes I had while putting together my previous blog and put them in code.

You’re now looking at the all new wonderfully shiny new gotworms.co.uk.

What? It looks the same? Yeah, sadly it does… But it’s an all new engine under the hood… and this beast has an internet connection.

Yes my friends, foes and casual browsers my website has an internet connection!

You’re probably wondering what manner of narcotics I’ve been taking ...

PoBK: Meta abstraction for an asynchronous abstraction layer is somewhat headfucky. I hurt.

Damn, damn, damn

... and double damn...

Having written this lovely bit of code, I an unable to deploy it.

Why? Because I needed python 2.5 for some of it. That requires upgrading python on my gentoo box which is still Python 2.4!

There are circular references all over the place. Crap.

It's alive... again...

Mwhahahaha

I got bored and finished off the code behind this site.

It’s more of a feed aggregator now than ever before, only it’s only aggregating my feeds. Meh, it’s a cheap way of getting a site that updates all the time.

Of course there’s spammy posts, like my music feed, but that can easily be silenced. I’ve polished here, and there, added little nuggets of usefulness including sitemap.xml main feed… so yeah… should be good now.

Ooops

... Sorry guys...

I broke the feeds last night.

Should be working now though.

BBC NEWS | Technology | Brain control headset for gamers

The beginning of neural interfaces for computing? Woo… I might finally be able to get my thoughts into some form of legible notes before I forget them.

Overview — Python Documentation

Mmmmm Pretty new Python 2.6 documentation. While the old stuff was functional, it wasn’t very easy to read.
