Track or Back

I like Trackback too. Even better would be if more people would include their trackback addresses in their RSS feeds using the trackback:ping tag, that would help avoid manual steps (and especially make this dreadful trackback autodiscovery unnecessary). The original article can be found at Der Schockwellenreiter here.

Folklore.org: Macintosh Stories: Hungarian

Fascinating. A story about how Apple discovered Hungarian notation (variable names with prepended characters for the variable type) by Charles Simonyi. Literally discovered — in the source code of the memory manager for Mac OS

Well, the reaction to the discovery speaks volumes: the source code was first purged of this defacement, then commented and documented, and then manually reimplemented in Assembler. Good old days...

OpenMCL 0.14.1 - now with Cocoa Bridge!

Finally, I've been waiting eagerly for this. OpenMCL now has a Cocoa bridge. This allows you to use Objective-C frameworks from Common Lisp. The advantage: virtually the entire OS X API (at least the part that came new with OS X) is now potentially available for Common Lisp. Integration with other Objective-C programs is also much easier. And there's finally a chance to develop a usable GUI via OpenMCL. There's also already documentation on Cocoa programming under OpenMCL. Here's the original article.

PLT Spy - Python in Scheme

Wow. A Python implementation in Scheme. Ok, the standard library is still missing (and that's really what makes Python so interesting), but anyway, it would then be the fourth Python environment (one for Java, one for .NET and of course the original CPython environment).

Toolserver Framework for Python

If you want to set up a SOAP web service in Python and don't want to use a monster server like twisted, but instead prefer a small, lean web server based on Medusa (though with dynamic multithreading!), you can check out my linked project. Nothing groundbreaking, but quite useful as an all-rounder. UPDATE: the stable version is now 0.2.0 and includes XML-RPC support in addition to SOAP. Version 0.3.0 is now in CVS, which adds support for implementing REST APIs.

Here's the original article.

Once More on the IE Bug

Just a small example of what exactly happens. Let's take the following HTML code:

blubb

And the following stylesheet: h2 a { font-style : bold ; } h2 > a { font-style : italic ; } IE 6 would then set the link text blubb in bold in the above examples. Mozilla would use italic, since "h2 > a" is more specific than "h2 a". Ok, I admit it, I just wanted to point out the capabilities of the Python Desktop Server to highlight source code by syntax.

path Python module

Path Module

If you like to use Python frequently for shell scripts, this module will interest you. A module for very simple processing of directory names and filenames, which is much more elegant than os.path. Additionally, it combines the functions of the glob module and the shutil module.

What normally looks like this with os.path:

 # with os.path DIR = '/usr/home/guido/bin' for f in os.listdir(DIR):
if f.endswith('.py'): path = os.path.join(DIR, f) os.chmod(path, 0755) # Assume it's a file

Looks like this with the path module:

 # with path dir = path('/usr/home/guido/bin') for f in dir.files('*.py'): f.chmod(0755)
