python conference was fun. Python, the language that is, not the
snake. Snakes are icky.

Much to my surprrise I learned that the object system for python 2.2
is almost completely new. “old style” and “new style” classes live
in parallel. The good thing is that new style classes/objects look
way more powerful with only small syntax canges. Also good is
that built in types (ints/floats/strings/etc) are also now “new style”
classses and can be subclassed, etc. Also learned that scary
python people are just as scary as scary linux people.

Looks like Japan Air
got a decent blurb in the
Winston-Salem Journal. Cool.
