I'll be there. Jay Graves from Austin TX I do a lot of glue-ing and some internal app development using Python. There is tons of stuff I'm interested in at PyCon 2010. Many of my session slots are double and triple booked. I don't know At

I wish for this also but I also know why it can't be that way. The hosting company is in the business of providing a server in a short time period and can afford to keep them on hand. Presumably multiple customers will be asking for them

Possibly got the idea from this book. (Depending on how old his kids are.) http://www.amazon.com/17-Things-Not-Allowed-Anymore/dp/03758... We have it and it's mildly funny, there is one line that makes our kids erupt into hysterical lau

My son got a similar train track when he was little but with a lot more pieces. I wanted to write something similar but never got around to it. One twist is that his set has several sets of forks and some pieces to make an elevated track

I'm quite intrigued by this but it didn't find the tennis courts near my house. I think it was foiled by tree's and shade blocking some of the lines. Edit: oops. I didn't read the disclaimer about only processing the Bay Area for now.

I sent a card to my kids telling them that Google has searched the global index of nice/naughty kids and they were found on the nice list. I haven't told my wife. I want to see how much she freaks out when it comes in the mail.

They will probably see ROI from me. I've bought stuff from them in the past and even if I don't get in on this deal (I'm sure they will hit their 100K limit in minutes) I'll remember the offer and be more likely to shop with them in the fu

One of our custom applications that was started in the early 90's has about 750 tables and it only handles the order management and part of the manufacturing process for one division of our company. That doesn't include back office stuff

I've written at least 3 versions of this algorithm in various flavors of RPG for the iSeries (AS/400). The most complete one weighs in at 251 lines (175 w/o comments) but it also does a lot of checking to make sure that the CC number matche

If you valued your job that little, you might as well have quit, IMO. You aren't going to change policy with nose thumbing pranks. I have a decent win/lose record by engaging the decision makers over policy issues like this. When you don'

I had a manager in 2001 that broke internal IT policy by buying a wireless router to use in his office and he didn't secure it. Why did he need it you ask. Because sometimes he didn't want to sit at his desk but at his conference table 10
