Dear Mr. SLYDOR:
I have received your kind note: “Triad Group ownz you by SLYDOR amo te joana”. My webhost provider pointed it out to me, and I am touched that someone would take the time to deface my site. In fact, I have never been 0wz0r3d before, being born a free man. [...]
I’ve had my head deep in some python code the last few days. I’m struggling with a lot of new concepts I’ve been learning, and it’s all very slowly coming into focus. I’ve also been tool-gathering, so that I can streamline the test-driven development process. Tool-gathering is always a lot of work [...]

PyWeek ended yesterday. We finished, just not with a complete game–more of a physics demo. It was quite a ride, and I learned a lot, so I’m glad I participated. Michal, our team leader, has a good summary of the week.
Referencing this, I have just discovered synergy, which is the coolest thing in the world. I have a desktop and a laptop, and they are now sharing one keyboard and one mouse over the network. You move the mouse to the edge of one screen and it shows up on the other. [...]
Friday night is a loose term, I admit. I should be updating at saner times beginning next Tuesday.
Today was the perfect Friday:
A beautiful, sunny day, but not too hot. A Friday before a three-day weekend. A payday Friday.
I do not think you could do better than this Friday has done. My paycheck even had a [...]
