Industrie Antiquemoved to toulouse.amber.org; linear chromatic plastic platforms and terminals in the zope, python, art, and design industries.Aggregation versus Inheritance- January 9, 2003 EuroPython had an interview with Jim Fulton (I can't determine the date, but I'm guessing some time within the past year), in which he gives a good summary of Zope 3's differences over Zope 2 (I've been looking for such a summary): Zope 3 moves Zope from an inheritance-based framework to a component-based framework. Complexity is managed by splitting responsabilities among many cooperating components, rather than many cooperating mix-in classes. Components are connected using interfaces,...http://radio.weblogs.com/0106123/2003/01/09.html#a267 Some quick Safari Tips and Links- January 9, 2003 I'm generally liking Apple's new Safari web browser. I think it will actually open up some interesting competition in the Mac OS X browser world, at least between Safari and the Mac OS X native Gecko browser, Chimera. There's already been a lot of talk about Safari, these are just a couple of links and downloads that have stuck out for me: Dave Hyatt's Surfin Safari weblog. Dave is the lead developer of WebCore, the rendering side of Safari. He's responding quickly to a lot of criticism...http://radio.weblogs.com/0106123/2003/01/09.html#a266 MacWorld- January 7, 2003 Good MacWorld. A curious non-announcement - Apple's X11 for Mac OS X public beta. I love that new 12" PowerBook. If I can ever find it in my heart to replace my beloved white iBook, it will be with that. Right now, this 500Mhz G3 is suiting me fine, but to have a full PowerBook with a PC card slot and audio input!, that would be sweet. Now if only Pro Tools 6 Free would come out (I still haven't heard if they'll continue that program), and Supercollider 3 would come out. Well, I guess I..http://radio.weblogs.com/0106123/2003/01/07.html#a265 Herbie rides again- January 6, 2003 Volkswagen's advertising team delivers another beautiful commercial for the New Beetle Convertible.http://radio.weblogs.com/0106123/2003/01/05.html#a264 Big Alpha Releases for Zope and Python- January 3, 2003 Two big alpha releases were made for the new year: Python 2.3a1 and Zope 3X a1. Python 2.3 doesn't make any major changes to the language (unlike previous Python 2 series releases, which brought things like list comprehensions, generators, nested scopes, iterators, etc). Andrew Kuchling, as always, covers the changes extensively. Of interest are - ability to import from .zip files, universal newline support!, a new logging package, a new Set datatype and default Boolean datatype. Zope 3X (x.http://radio.weblogs.com/0106123/ |
