Monday March 03, 2008 Python Day At Sun
Apparently it's an unofficial Python day at Sun as Ted Leung and Frank Wierzbicki are joining us. Tim is leading the charge and is encouraging us to all blog about Python. So here's my contribution.
It's nice to see that the OpenSolaris packaging folks are using Python for pkg, but let's not forget that Orca was one of the first official Python projects at Sun, and was started almost four years ago.
In fact, we had to put through a case with PSARC to get the official version of Python in Solaris bumped from 2.3 to 2.4 just so that we could integrate into Solaris ourselves.
Python has fast become my favorite program language. I encourage others who haven't used it, to give it a try. Here's a link to the Essential Python Reading List to get you started.

GNOME Outreach Program: Accessibility - List of tasks published!
|
Lucas has just announced that the list of tasks in the GNOME Accessibility Outreach Program has now been published. If you are interested, consider signing up. Interesting logo. It made me think of those Little Green Men Squeeze Toy Aliens that worship The Claw in Toy Story. |

More FireFox 3 Weirdness
|
Certain sites (like this one), just don't want to render correctly. It seems to blit a copy of part of my screen desktop into the browser window. Some kind of memory glitch? This is on a Ferrari 3400 running latest Ubuntu Hardy. |
I'm also seeing problems with certain images just showing up as a black rectangle. Like the one on this web page. If I right click and do a View Image on it, then the image shows just fine.
I'm told by Joanie that this is just a problem with the version of Firefox 3 that currently comes with Ubuntu Hardy. If you build it from the latest source, the problem goes away. I haven't tried that yet, and would rather not.
So... anybody else seen this or know what to tweak (or untweak) to fix it?
