- Wireless network “appears compromised”
I’m seeing a lot of this disturbing little error message: “The wireless network appears to have been compromised and will be disabled for about a minute.” A poke around the Internet doesn’t show much other than other people complaining about the same problem. Some find the only way to solve the problem is to disable WPA. [...]

Zephyr, this morning: Zephyr big boy. Daddy big boy. Mummy big girl. Willow big chicken pox.

Yep. Quadruple-barrelled. I always wondered what'd happen if one double-barrelled person married another double-barrelled person. Reg Drax here seems to be Exhibit A. Our kids are double-barrelled. To save them from Reg' fate, we carefuly chose their middle names so they could ditch the two surnames entirely if necessary. Thanks, Merlin!
Mon, 03 Sep 2007 21:31:52 +0000 - Django vs feedparser on dates
I'm having trouble storing feedparser results in a Django model. It's all about timestamps. Feedparser returns timestamps in a standard time nine-tuple, asserting UTC. Django wants datetime objects. So, I'm trying to translate: django_timestamp = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(time.mktime(feedparser_timestamp)) feedparser_timestamp = django_timestamp.utctimetuple() This works fine for the majority of timestamps, but sometimes translating to datetime and back mutates the timestamp. In [...]
Sat, 01 Sep 2007 10:17:33 +0000 - Push the tempo?
I'm much more likely to post to Twitter, Tumblr and Facebook than here. The environments are pleasantly slack: I don't feel like I have to write masses of highly insightful prose. Today, I noticed another key factor: their tools are optimised for speed of posting. You can tweet or tumble as fast as you can send [...]

My web host just rang me to ask me to upgrade WordPress. Some benefactor of humanity had used a hole in WordPress to turn his web server into a spam-bot, and he was going to get black-holed any minute. Rather than turn me off entirely, he rang me. How's that for customer service? I sincerely [...]

Put all the cards on the book brochure, lining them up with pictures of books. Willow picks two cards. Dad picks the other two. Each player takes turns. Willow goes first. In each turn: a) Put down a card on a picture of a book. b) Say "H" if it's [...]
Thu, 10 May 2007 22:01:20 +0000 - Fix: Python Script Arguments Not Passed
On Windows, you can run a Python script on the PATH simply with its name. These should be equivalent: c:>congeal blood c:>congeal.py blood c:>python congeal.py blood If it's not working that way, fixing PATHEXT and correcting the file type associations with ASSOC and FTYPE will usually do the trick: c:>set PATHEXT=%PATHEXT%:.PY c:>ftype Python.File="C:Python25python25.exe" "%1" %* c:>assoc .py=Python.File If that still isn't [...]
Thu, 03 May 2007 20:39:11 +0000 - Apple TV: good luck plugging it in!
If only I'd been following The Register: my shiny new Apple TV lacks any outputs compatible with older televisions. It outputs HDMI or component video; my Grundig takes RGB or composite over SCART. If Apple TV had an S-Video port, I'd be fine. It doesn't. I'm not. For only an extra AUD$150-250 depending on [...]
