Epydoc and Google's Appengine

The GUI of Epydoc, a Python documentation generator, skips files where it cannot resolve the imports. Pretty annoying, especially since the Google Appengine keeps its modules separate from the standard Python installation.
A quick hack is to modify "site-packages/epydoc/gui.py":

except ImportError, e:
  log.error(e)
  self._update_messages()
  self._root.bell()
-  return
+  #return

The Dark Knight

I couldn't resist, and went to the movie theatre today to see The Dark Knight - the newest Batman. Originally I thought is is based on Frank Miller's book " The Dark Knight Returns" .. but it is not.

I wonder why I never posted a link to Alan Taylor/The Boston Globe's The Big Picture ...it even made it into my "Daily" bookmarks list.

A Rogue Amoeba blog post by Quentin Carnicelli on LLVM's Clang based syntax checker:
The Clang Static Analyze
I'm a little bit scared to run it on our software though :)

Now the only question left, is when LLVM will replace GCC in OS X...

The Alchemist in the iTunes Store

... as audiobook. And the best it is FREE :)
It's probably Paulo Coelho's most famous work.

Stop .. before you get yourself an iPhone 3G

So you are ready to sign up for an adhesion contract to get your hands on a black plastic iPhone?
Then you might want to have a look on this page first: AT&T 3G coverage (US)
Otherwise you end up with an 2G (GSM) device.
Oh, and in case that you want to replace your Garmin/TomTom, etc. w/ the iPhone: The GPS antenna is according to Apple to small to give directions while driving (what a bummer!).
