Whatcha doing? PyObjC and WordPress

Thursday | January 20, 2005 | 12:59 pm  

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.
