I had a great time at the Seattle Python User's Group meeting last night. The meeting was in the Construx building, which was fun, because I've been curious about Construx since reading Steve McConnell's books years ago.
People were really interested in hearing about Chandler, so I just gave an overview of what we're trying to do, what the architecture looks like and so forth. I was gratified that people seem interested in the repository and data model that we are working on. There was a minor glitch -- I'm still getting used to being a Powerbook user -- I left the special connector for VGA video connected to my display at home, so I couldn't hook up to the projector directly. But Brian Dorsey was quick of mind and we downloaded a VNC server for the Mac, and we display my screen from Brian's Thinkpad.
Brian also taught me that I could be a wireless access point for the rest of the machines in the room. The secret (after googling) is to Sharing system preference panel and select the Internet tab. Then you say share your built in ethernet connection and share it via Airport, click start, and you are done. Pretty cool if you ask me. I'm glad I learned this trick before PyC
1000
on next week.
The full notes of the meeting are on the SeaPIG wiki (taken in real time). Things that we discussed that were interesting to me were Unum, a way to deal with units in python proggrams, and hapdebugger, a standalone GUI python debugger developed by Seattle based Humongous Entertainment.
