@shaver @jacksonh looks exactly like Johnny depp so I think he's the first choice. Which means tim Burton directs. 11 hours ago
@peachfriedman Also, if it weren't so soon I'd suggest doing a practice run. We took the train to Providence, and that helped a lot. 23 hours ago
@peachfriedman Since it's transcontinental you might be able to get a bulkhead seat with a bassinet. That'd be nice. 23 hours ago

there is only one correct way to skin a cat   106 days ago

I have ranted about the iPhone’s horrible iPod interface in the past, and any improvement they can make is certainly welcome. But the improvements in the iPhone OS 3.0 update seem more half-assed than a true solution. Yes, the ability to skip back 30 seconds will be nice, but it’s still a ham-fisted solution to the problem of exact scrolling inside a 70 minute podcast. And the “scrubber” interface seems complicated and error-prone.

python daemon threads considered harmful   128 days ago

The other day at work we encountered an unusual exception in our nightly pounder test run after landing some new code to expose some internal state via a monitoring API. The problem occurred on shutdown. The new monitoring code was trying to log some information, but was encountering an exception. Our logging code was built on top of Python’s logging module, and we thought perhaps that something was shutting down the logging system without us knowing. We ourselves never explicitly shut it down, since we wanted it to live until the process exited.

The monitoring was done inside a daemon thread. The Python docs say only:

A thread can be flagged as a “daemon thread”. The significance of this flag is that the entire Python program exits when only daemon threads are left. “

another beagle innovation stolen   128 days ago

From the Safari 4 beta release:

* Full History Search, where users search through titles, web addresses and the complete text of recently viewed pages to easily return to sites they’ve seen before;

If you’ve been a Beagle user in the last 3 years this has been supported for Firefox and Epiphany users. But I wouldn’t mind seeing Firefox have this sort of indexing and search built-in either… the AwesomeBar was a great first step in that direction.
