Whatcha doing? PyObjC and WordPress
This is the first in what I hope will be a series of posts called, unceremoniously, Whatcha doing?
So, without further ado, here’s what I’m doing:
Learning PyObjC for a photo gallery project at work. A previous version of my gallery tool used Pashua as a fake GUI in conjunction with a Python command-line script/library I had previously created for my own personal use.
The time has come to update the tool, and I’m working through Apple tutorial as modified by by the PyObjC folks.
Considering WordPress for heisel.org
Why? Partly because change is fun, partly because I don’t like rebuilding, partly because it’s written in a language I know and so can extend — though Python would be better :-).
Reading Guns, Germs and Steel, which was a gift from Erica.
I was worried that, like The Bell Curve, it would be an excuse for racism. If the introduction and first few chapters are accurate, it’s a very well thought-out and well-written anthropological/historical look at why some civilizations (read: white folks) have developed deep, complex cultures and technologies, while others haven’t.
Watching Carnivale and Battlestar Galactica.
Yeah, I’m geek — it’s just nice to have first run, quality sci-fi on the air since our dearly departed left us so long ago.
Update: Apparently, Ron Moore has a blog.
