    Seesmic and video comments started by bear
    Since I work at Seesmic and I have switched to using Disqus for comments, I figure I should talk about the latest update to the collection of blog plugins that we offer: you can now use Seesmic to leave video comments on Disqus managed blogs.

    Nice work team!

    python giveth and python taketh away started by bear
    Or to put it another way: the fun I had with the new subprocess module in Python (well, new to 2.4).
    I’ve been doing some major refactoring of the code we use to do our continuous builds and during one of the sessions I discovered the new subprocess module. It appeared to be th

    Normally I like to keep titles short and simple, but this time I wanted to get all of the keywords up front so anyone else who has this problem can find it

    First an outline of the problem and how Chandler uses batch files.

    The new dayjob has been keeping me very busy so I’ve neglected working on parsedatetime.

    An email reminding me that I had checked in 0.8.5 with the damn debug flag still enabled gave me the poke I needed to go thru the Issues listed (wow - people have been filing bugs!%

    Probably should have posted about this a couple of days ago, but after spending 4 days of 20 hours days chasing down one little issue after another with the migration, I took the weekend off

    So, yep - we migrated to the new hardware finally!

    change is good started by bear
    For me, change has been very good and hopefully the changes I’m making to this page will be enjoyable.

    Many people who know me have already heard about my change in jobs (I haven’t been able to shut up about it yet) and my changing jobs has been the big re

    Ok, a little background. My new job is working for Seesmic and there I’m helping in a number of ways and one of them is to map out with the team a way to take the current infrastructure and make sure it can handle higher loads.

    It just has to be an alien invasion - has anyone checked the basement of Microsoft to see if the pods are present?

    Why? Because the look, feel and behaviour of Microsoft Popfly looks, umm, usable and rich to be a 0.x version of a Microsoft product.

    Wow - after posting that new entry about Flock I realized that I have not made an entry in almost exactly a month. That also means that I have not shared what I consider to be most excellant news — the Mozilla staff have allowed me to become a co-maintainer for the Tinderbox2 project.%0
