The first released tarball of Loghetti was called the “IPO” release. This version actually warranted having an actual version number. I chose 0.9, and we’ll be moving toward 0.91, in .01 increments to a 1.0 release. Later on I’ll try to detail a roadmap, but I haven’t had enough feedback for that yet (though I’ve…

A simple nanny script in Python
I have a support issue with a provider of mine, but was able to reverse engineer the problem and put in a stop-gap measure to keep it from ruining my weekend. The issue is a misconfigured daemon supplied by the provider, and occasionally, this daemon just goes away. I don’t know much about the daemon,…
A non-degree-holder’s view of hiring decisions
I get a good number of job offers without sending resumes around. I guess my name shows up in enough places, associated with enough buzzwords, that recruiters fire off emails first and read the fine print later. The “fine print” in my case, says that I do not have a college degree. 99.999% of the…
Loghetti is now an open source project
I was getting feedback about loghetti, and it was all very useful, and it’s still coming in, and I can’t work full-time on it. At the same time, I’d love for some of the stuff I’ve read about to be implemented, because I certainly could make use of it myself. So if anyone is interested,…
A GMail option I’d like to see: “Delayed Skip Inbox”
I use GMail extensively. In my main gmail account, I can send mail using a variety of accounts that I’ve authenticated to allow sending from. So, for example, mail from jonesy at pythonmagazine dot com is actually sent from a gmail interface, even though PyMag doesn’t officially use Google Mail for their domain (not that…
What I learned about Python Today – eval()
I was writing some Python yesterday, and came across an issue that I thought was going to send me back to the drawing board. I was using a module that, given an Apache access log, returns line objects with the fields of the line as attributes of the line object. It was certainly usable as-is,…
Taking Virtualization to the Next Level: AppLogic
Every now and then, something comes around that is as useful as it is novel. Of course, the notion of virtualized systems isn’t new. In fact, systems running something like what we now call a “hypervisor” have existed for, literally, decades. But what about that next level of virtualization? What if you could not only…
Got a new iPhone
Yeah, I dove into the iPhone after seeing Steve Jobs’s keynote where he talked about all of the new features. When I first saw the iPhone, I had no real interest in it, because I didn’t like the idea that the only apps I could use were those deemed worthy by Apple. I tend to…
Sun Acquires MySQL
I’m pretty sure I’m not pleased about this, but I guess only time will tell. Maybe now my boss will let me move to PostgreSQL 😀 See the news release here Blogged with Flock
Do You, Um…. Brew?
A long time ago, a buddy of mine got me into brewing beer. I’m not talking about buying a can o’ syrup and adding water – I’m talking about buying grain, taking it home, milling it, mashing it, hopping it, fermenting it, bottling and kegging it…. *really* brewing beer. Anyway, it turns out that a…
