URLGrabber Merged

We finally got the two URLGrabber source tree's sync'd up in CVS. Michael to audit and then we should be able to push out a stable 0.3 release for Seth. There was also an interesting bug found in current yum related to urlgrabber today. The user:pass parsing for authentication in URLs wasn't unescaping before it set values into the AuthHandler. I need to remember to log this in bugzilla and push up a patch for Seth.

Meet the Prez

The Daily Show Feb 09, 2004 had a hillarious crack on Bush's Meet the Press interview, which I haven't seen in full yet. From what I've read, they should have just aired the interview on the comedy channel to begin with.

Here's some video (MOV).

Back into URLGrabber

I spoke with Michael and Seth a bit yesterday about getting back into a groove with URLGrabber. I finally put together a TODO list today and sent that out to them. It would be nice to get this stable for Seth's yum work.

Seth teased me with suggestions of trying to get some of the urlgrabber/byterange stuff into python core when we started. Running back through the code had me thinking that a lot of the FTP byterange stuff would fit better as a urllib(2) patch anyway.

pyblosxom out / mt in

I really do like pyblosxom. It's "good enough" for the basic stuff and what is not there can be coded given I have extra time to code it. That's the problem. I like a python based blog because it means I can enjoy enhancing it but sometimes you just want to blog, not write blogging software. The more I have to write, the less I'm actually blogging so I've been reluctantly looking for an alternative.

Enter movabletype. I loaded this up at work so I could keep a web based research journal. I was awed by how simple it was to setup and the amount of functionality provided right out of the box. This thing does its job and gets out of your way. So anyway, long story short, pyblosxom's out for a little while (until the community grows and development starts up again) and movabletype is in.
