Legal position on decrypting Blu Ray disks appears to be "it's fine so long as you're not American"...
Although I can't tell if VLC 2 will play AACS/BD+ encrypted (i.e. normal) blu-rays or not . Fun legal page for libaacs http://www.videolan.org/develop...
Ooh, VLC 2 will support blu-ray playback on the Mac and presumably. That's nice. http://www.videolan.org/develop...
Visited the "Cradle of Canada" in York over the weekend, with my Sister and her family. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...
Given away a kvm switch, a sometimes-working monitor, a Windows mobile PDA and a probably-working printer in recent days. Junk clearing FTW!
Uhm....surely it's common sense that it's a bad idea to use someone else's project mailing list to promote your project over theirs.
I don't like conflict, but I also don't like avoiding conflict just because I don't like conflict. What a bind. :-)
RT @ironpython: IronPython 2.7.2 Alpha 2 available: http://ironpython.codeplex.com/release.... sqlite3 and Windows Phone 7!
Mock 0.8 out by the way. Lots of new features and improvements: http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python... #python #testing
An in memory smtp / imap server (based on twisted) for functional testing of web apps that send email. By @bloodearnest http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~bloode...
They recommend a laptop stand (to raise screen) plus separate keyboard and mouse.
According to @OsmondGroup posture advice, "Using a laptop on its own for any length of time will inevitably cause poor posture"
Kinesis Freestyle will def. replace the Microsoft Natural I travel with. Not convinced yet it will replace the Kinesis Advantage at home.
Ok, initial impressions. I really like the Kinesis Freestyle keyboard but still getting used to the slightly different layout.
Ok, so the Hazro stand wasn't so crappy - just broken (missing metal base plate). Replacement here and monitor is beautiful.
Hah, tripling the memory on the stackoverflow box is cheaper than buying a new sql server license... http://nickcraver.com/blog...
Doing a code review for @bloodearnest - he's mangled both our heads with twisty-turny-nested decorators... #python
An interesting work-in-progress for simpler unit testing of django with mock: https://github.com/dcramer... (by @zeeg - requires mock 0.8) #python
So, @bloodearnest wants to redesign django class based views so they're more like pyramid (e.g. annotation rather than decoration). #python
The advantage Shedskin has over Cython is that to get a speedup with Cython you must annotate your code (no longer valid Python).
Shedskin is a static version of Python that compiles to C++ (like RPython all Shedskin is valid python but all python is not valid shedskin)
PyPy isn't the only Python optimisation show in town. Shedskin can [sometimes] run an order of magnitude faster than pypy without much work.
