Just got back from a tap jam at the BCCA.

I've gone a few times, and think I danced better at some of them, but this time was really fun, not leastwise because I ran into my friend Matt who I had neglected seeing in quite a while, and he knew many folks there around our age to whom I had not been introduced before.

So in other words, good tap, good time.

Writing code is like flying a helicopter...sounds like the start of a bad, or only slightly dirty joke. I'll have to think of a good punchline.

Orthogonality and the DRY Principle: "We've all worked on systems where you make one small change over here, and another problem pops out over there. So you go over there and fix it, but two more problems pop out somewhere else. You constantly push them back?4like that Whack-a-Mole game?4and you just never finish."

Got myself a gmail account - yes I am a lucky bastard, and yes, it is cooler than whatever email service stepped up to 1gig+ this week.

Gotta say it though, seems like google is keeping this beta/invite only thing alive as a marketing gimmick - surely it is stable enough to launch by now. That said, it is all too human to feel superior because I have some ice cream, and you don't got none, na na-na na naa-na

Plone
My current obsession - I'm working furiously to use it for project management and repository at work. Python makes me happy.

plone.org - Welcome to plone.org: "What is Plone?

Plone is easy to use. The Plone Team includes usability experts who have made Plone easy and attractive for content managers to add, update, and maintain content."

Changing the look since it was more than a bit outdated.
Planning to try to do this a bit more, but best laid plans...
