Es gibt nur eine sehr einfache Abo-Struktur und inzwischen nur noch eine " Normalfahrkarte " .

Then I got fed up with both - due to the price for the phone and due to the whole Skype-is-a-black-box-giant thing. I switched to Gizmo, which coincidentally had a nice frontend for my mobile phone. There I was more or less happy for a while. OK, it would sometimes not work or was laggy, but that was expected. These aren't business calls, when they don't work, I'll call the next day. But then Google bought Gizmo and now I'm kind of stuck with what to do... digital betabug 2010-02-05T16:55:42Z http://betabug.ch/blogs/ch-athens/1034 While it's cold (for our standards) with even a bit of snow on the higher hills around town, I'm having fun with ZEO. The thing is, I've got to run a one-off script in one of our instance, doing a catalog query and changing something on every found object. This is ideal to do with a plain old Python Script in the ZMI... except of course I have blocked any attempts to change those objects except through proper class code. Now I could change the permission and restart Zope and edit the objects and go back... and in the process kick out all users twice for the downtime. Don't like. Our ZEO setup offers a fun way of doing this without bothering users: zope betabug 2010-02-03T15:35:35Z http://betabug.ch/blogs/ch-athens/1033 Took a little Sunday hike, took the Arca with me. I'm mostly walking, secondly thinking, but I even snapped one picture. Now I'm sitting underneath a burned tree (all the hill has been burned down last summer) and doing more thinking.

Μεγαλώνουν το γραφείο, προσθέτουν έναν όροφο, γιατί τώρα δεν χωράνε πια. Το πάρτι ήταν στον καινούριο όροφο, με μουσική, πίτσα, ποτό.

I had checked out the latest darcs code and was basically looking to improve something in a general way, not just fix bugs. One such point is memory use optimization and a field I don't know *that* much about yet. A chance to learn combined with a chance to do a good deed... here I come! zwiki betabug 2010-01-22T09:39:38Z http://betabug.ch/blogs/ch-athens/1030 Eisbahnen scheinen diesen Winter die grosse Mode zu sein: Das Einkaufszentrum gegenüber von meinem Büro hat eine, ein anderes Einkaufszentrum hat eine, in Glyfada gibt's eine.
