Having Neat People At Your Disposal
Something that always amazes me at conferences is having a wide choice of people to ask questions to.

I had a question, walked into a room, had a troop of people to ask questions to, didn't know where to start, so I wandered over to where Tim Peters was sitting.

Yes, that Tim Peters.

Twas cool.

Native Abiword For Mac OS X Released

Native (Aqua) Abiword for OS X released.

I used Abiword for a quarter or two at school and really liked it. The best tagline I can come up with is "It's like Word, but without the suck."

I haven't played around with it any (but I did launch it, and by gum it works) - maybe I'll do that sometime tonight.




BTW....
Being offline for almost 2 whole days (besides a reprive at Pittsburg airport) sucked. I was having major withdrawl the first night.

But we have wireless access here at conference, so I got my news/email/AIM fix. 380 emails were waiting for me, along with several hundred news items.

Luckily I got to conference 45 minutes early... might be a little slow responding to email (although, if you've sent something directly to me, chances are that I've read it)

I'll be posting notes, comments, and probably outlines to the rpwConferences category. So check out the rpwConferences category or subscribe to the rpwConferences RSS feed



Cog 1.1

I was thinking about writing some sort of Python code generator application (intended to keep my C++ preprocessor use simple). Lucky for me, Ned Batchelder already wrote one he calls Cog

When I get back from PyCon I'll have to try it out with a sample app and see how it would work for production use.
