Don't cut off a cop in an unmarked SUV who's driving his daughter to school in the morning. Bad idea.

Jim posted a useful link to a new list of all the __magic__ variables that are used in python modules to make them play nice with scripts, other modules, and documentation systems. Included in the page is a link to something I'd never used before, the "amazing pydoc module" which looks super useful. Much nicer than typing help(foo) in the python intepreter IMO.

I'm listening to mid-vintage U2 today: Joshua Tree and Rattle and Hum. Eventually I'll get to early-vintage: War, Boy, October. October is my fav of the early stuff: I spent many hours as a teen learning The Edge's guitar licks on Gloria on an old classical guitar. (Slipping into nostalgia...)

If you're a small developer and have found a bug-tracking or issue-tracking system that you really like, please ping me at steve AT this site. I'm especially interested if you're using it in a mainly Mac OS X environment.

Installing MovableType on Panther. May prove useful.
