At the beginning of this month, I gave a talk at the South Coast Linux Users Group called Python-iView in a flash. (Pun intended.)
While attending the talk would have given you the real deal, I’ve put my slides up for anybody who is interested.
I use SVG graphics in the presentation, and because Google and Mozilla can’t agree on a way to get transparent SVG working consistently, you’ll only see images if you use Google Chrome (sorry about that). It’s because I only get transparency in Chrome if I use <img />, but I only get SVG at all in Firefox if I use <object />.

I’m headed to Myall Lakes on a canoeing trip with our youth group. Should be wild, hopefully not wet, but hopefully fun.
Here’s hoping the Internets don’t break while I’m AFK. Until then, adiós, weird world.

Somehow, I think all’s not right with this publication — Highlands Post, 16 July 2009.
Hint: Look at the blue bar.

Today, Dad brought home a bag full of Asian nibblies. Among them were some packs of ramen noodles. I found this pack to be particularly striking:
Yes, yes, I know. It’s a Hindu or Buddhist swastika, not the Nazi form. But I’m pretty sure the noodles would be banned in Germany in one way or another. And yes, I just Godwined my blog. Ah well — it was fun while it lasted.

I’m currently working towards my Diploma, which I will hopefully finish by the end of this month. Until then, I need to get stuck into finishing assignments, including ones on network security, server design, and project management.
Some things I’d like to get around to doing when I’m finished:
- Update Battle for Wesnoth for OLPC to the latest version of 1.6 (currently stuck at 1.4.5).
- Get around to redesigning this blog to be a little more presentable, and a little more me.
- Too much of my life is locked up in Twitter and Delicious. Would be nice to integrate them both into my WordPress theme nicely.
- Finish off some Python projects, such as an ABC iView browser and my Volcano game.
- Reading. I got given a truckload of books a couple of weeks ago — mostly Java books, but also one on UML which looks interesting.
And, of course, there’s bassoon. I’m hoping to do my LMusA (Licentiate) exam this year, although it may prove to be too much for this year, in which case I can work on it for next year.
