WSGI: the good and the bad
WSGI is the Python 'WebServer Gateway Interface', which is a standard interface between webservers and Python web applications. The idea is that you write yourapp as a WSGI app, then glue it to the web interfaces of your choice:CGI-BIN, SCGI , a standalone testing webserver, whatever. The WSGI stuff encourages a stacking model, wheremodular middleware can be transparently inserted above applications tohandle various more or less generic things.
(Ian Bicking gives examples of a bunch of WSGI middleware here
Impending changes to access to Solaris patches
Through the pca news page I found out someimpending changes to access to Solaris patches. There are two changes:
- InfoDoc #83061 says that from mid-July, we'll need to register for a free SunOnline Account in order to get patches.
- InfoDoc #82023 says that Sun will be turning off anonymous ftp access to patchesin late August.
I'm honestly not sure how these two interact, since it's hard toenforce having accounts with anonymous ftp
An odd choice of hostname
Today's winner of the amusing hostname prize is ' GE-queer-A.gay.it 'aka ' server1-gay-it.it.net ', which is what the IP address 151.1.32.3currently claims to be in SMTP (the first name) and its PTR records (thesecond name; there is no matching A record).
I do have to wonder what sort of naming scheme gaverise to this. (It has neighbors with different
原來父親節
（那就貼一篇被打回頭的母親節文章吧。）
母親節又到，宣傳趁節日報答母親與指責母親節已經形式化、我門應該在日常生活中孝順母親、而非只倚賴母親節的論述都會在這天潮湧而出。這兩種姿態都急於表現對「母親」存在的

在我記憶之中，很多小說和電影裏的主角都有驟然獲得異能的經驗，許多童話故事裏都有提到神仙或異人給予主角三個願望的情節，所以我自幼就很天真地相信著童話、電影和小說。在我有生之年，都在等待著獲得異能和擁有

翻炒魅影
離《歌聲魅影》 ( POTO ) 於香港再演的日期越來越近，市面上又出現不少 POTO 的產品：原著小說、CD、Andrew Lloyd Webber 音樂雜錦等等，而且相比起上電影的那陣子，好像比較多，果然是原版比較有「魅」力嗎？
經典熱潮重起的好處是，之前沒
Metrics considered dangerous
It's a general truism in software development that metrics are oftendangerous, because people will naturally work to what you pay attentionto (to summarize). If you pay attention to bugs closed, people closebugs; if you pay attention to lines of code written, people write code.The dangers inherent in this are hopefully obvious.
(In fact it happens outside of software development too; consider allof the schools that are busy 'teaching to the test', because variousstandardized tests have become so important
