The second November Python-Dev summary is now out. This took a while (even though the summary was actually finished a while back), but is the first summary that I’ve actually been able to publish on the pydotorg website myself, without Brett’s help. This should mean that future summaries are quicker to get out.
(Steve and I are working on the December summaries now – end-of-year tasks delayed the first December summary).

Weird.? I migrated some of the content from my Massey site here today (so that it doesn’t vanish when the Massey site does), and this (completely unlinked, apart from one from there) blog suddenly gets found.
HawkWings found my quoting tutorial (prepared for the Written Communication for Information Sciences paper at Massey), which has been on my website since the 27th of October last year (about 13.5 months).? Go figure. Continue reading “Obscurity”
I should also explain the tagline, I suppose. Some time back, my Dad asked me about the etymology of “blog”, and said that his best guess was “bullshit, lies, or gossip”.
While not technically correct, it did seem pretty accurate in a lot (not all, of course) of cases. While hopefully this blog won’t contain bullshit, lies or gossip, I liked the line.

So, what is the purpose of this blog? Basically, it’s replacing the content that’s under “miscellaneous writing” on my Massey website. That’s getting a little unruly, and, more importantly, my time at Massey (10 years!) is just about up, so no doubt that site will get killed at some point.
The material that’s there is a combination of things – drafts or extended versions of things I post elsewhere, little notes about things that I had to figure out myself rather than use Google (ideally letting me, and maybe others) find them later, and a few other bits and pieces.
This really isn’t designed for anyone else to read (IMO, not every blog needs to be). If you find a useful post here, don’t bother subscribing – just keep using Google, and it’ll point you back here if anything else is of use. This might change in the future, but that’s the way it is now.

After listening to Inside the Net episode 2, I’m trying out Flock, which seems pretty nice, even though it’s somewhere between alpha and beta.
