Py3k is here, and I didn't even find out about it until the day after release. So it's safe to say I'm not a total python dork. The first bullet point under Text Vs. Data Instead Of Unicode Vs. 8-bit made my day:
Python 3.0 uses the concepts of text and (binary) data instead
of Unicode strings and 8-bit strings. All text is Unicode; however
encoded Unicode is represented as binary data. The type used to
hold text is str, the type used to hold data is
bytes. The biggest difference with the 2.x situation is
that any attempt to mix text and data in Python 3.0 raises
TypeError, whereas if you were to mix Unicode and 8-bit
strings in Python 2.x, it would work if the 8-bit string happened to
contain only 7-bit (ASCII) bytes, but you would get
UnicodeDecodeError if it contained non-ASCII values. This
value-specific behavior has caused numerous sad faces over the
years. (bold text my emphasis)
Yes, I have had days of work wrecked by this very behavior. It was nice to hear them recognize it. ]]>
For the most part, I naively treated the xml files as ASCII text and things worked ok for awhile. I could use amara, parse everything, and move around and/or rewrite the xml.
But then I was slaughtered by a font with an umlaut in it.
The stupid umlaut actually led me down the 'what is character encoding really?' road, which I probably still misunderstand. But I learned to encode/decode, use unicode raw strings, and avoid file() / open() calls and prefer codec.open() calls all over the place. I stuffed asserts in random locations where enforcing unicodeness was a requirement. I pushed it from the sore spots all the way through every corner of my stupid code, and once I did, code and I were stronger for it.
In short, there were numerous sad faces.
Hopefully, I can figure out the new deal. And hopefully, it's less borked.

Textile Warehouse and iron/pin them in prep for stitching).
Also this week, I spent some good time hacking together a lexer for 3dsmax MaxScript, so I can eventually put together a doxygen filtering app that translates it into something like java or cpp. I made so little progress with Flex/Bison (yay, thanks ACM bookshelf!), that I found ANTLRWorks and made some actual progress. I did an all-nighter and flew through the EBNF that comes with the MaxScript reference, debugged and fixed some syntax, and then got to my first left-recursion errors.
Saturday, I took the girls to the farmer's market, bought some grub, a donut for Bpu, and an apple for Ipu.
I got to go fabric and notions shopping with Bpu, and harvested some hardware and tools for the curtains. And the same day, the upstairs hand rail I started a few weeks ago got filled and sanded, ready for staining. My parents came down for dinner and watched the girls while Cpu and I had a night out with some parents from Bpu's pre-school. And I fixed the math operand left-recursion errors in my grammar.
This morning started out by getting my Fantasy Football together and forgetting to do my picks for the pool. Not auspicious. But it was followed up with staining of the aforementioned hand rail, the annual pre-winter oiling of the picnic table, and the installation of a light fixture I bought last week.
Then this evening, we went and hung out with my old college roomates, one from out of town. As luck would have it, one has written his share of grammars with ANTLR and offered to give me some tips. And the other almost got a Cosmic Encounter game started. Awesome! ]]>

Work has been kicking me in the ass. Specifically, I want to use some libraries that work with the game and tools from python. Since I had an awesome (by which I mean fast as hell) time binding the Xbox 360 development libraries with ctypes via gccxml, I thought it would be just that easy this time around.
Enter boost. ]]>
I should point out here that my core programming skills revolve around build systems, scripting languages, trouble shooting, pre flighting. None of which involves c++, nor meaty template code much. Which I was about to hit full speed.
It turns out, older versions of gccxml were not very boost-happy. The links escape me at home, but at work, there were plenty of hits regarding boost template instantiation and other errors. There was a patch, of sorts. Unfortunately, we're on an older version of boost. And apparently, the ctypes authors are still on an October 2006 version of gccxml. Boo. I got plenty of warnings as errors. Memo to self: disable warnings as errors and try again.
I integrated the latest boost partially, but wasn't up to much more than fixing some header references. Typically, when looking through boost or STL calls in the callstack, I just read above and below the layer where it hits it. So when I hit shit city, I p4tar'd up my change and reverted.
But there isn't any gccxml win32 installer dist for download that I could see besides the ctypes one. So I made one at home to try out at work tomorrow. Maybe it just works.
The gccxml directions are a little obtuse. But as luck would have it, I am fluent in obtuse. And I have a bevy of build tools hooked up to the Eclipse IDE. I ended up having to:
import the gccxml module from cvs as a new eclipse project.
also make the package target. Eclipse got confused and thought targets were up to date, so I restarted the IDE and it allowed me to select from the Makefile targets available.

Did I mention that we are on the
beach, only a block from their condo? Or that Al's wife is hugely
pregnant and very late 3rd trimester? The kids are slathered in
sunblock. The water is apparently poisonous. Something about e-coli
levels. Bpu has dug a pit in the sand and buried my leg in the pit sand.
Crispy,
we head back to Al's for pizza and more water. Cpu drives me back down
Lakeshore drive, and drops me off on Jackson. I walk over to the show
and camp the Citi stage, waiting for Saul Williams at 6:00pm.
I catch each of the acts, but only remember Black Kids (awesome!) and Saul.
Saul's set started out poorly; although each dude powered onto stage in their campy outfits (Drum Major, Dracula, Astronaut, and Indian), the Lolla sound crew had fucked up the levels. The mix was so bad, that you couldn't hear anything but the sampler. No voice, very little guitar, and no keyboard. Which was awful, because they owned the stage with strutting and rocking.
After the first song, the sound issues seemed worked out. Saul's 12 year old daughter was up on stage in a fitted striped t-shirt and big skirt, bopping around and dropping MF-bombs. The tunes and the 'tude and the showmanship and the message were awesome. Saul and the sampler dude each crowd surfed.
And then he closed it out with Sunday, Bloody Sunday. Holy shit. I thought my head would explode. But it was the perfect capper for his message of individuality and racial unity. Why the hell not have a black techno-rapping Indian chief sing an Irish pop anthem from the 80s with his daughter?
What the hell was going to live up to that? Kanye? NIN? I think not. I decide to split so as not to ruin the buzz.
On the walk back, I try to pop off my wristband to hand to anyone else. I mean, just because I am too old to rock doesn't mean that someone else can't enjoy my shows. Great, my blood flow stopped and my thumb is going to break. I work it back to the wrist. A few blocks later, I meet some fans trying to catch the show. They seem a little too old, maybe they are in the business of reselling.
Whatever. A little sunblock at the choke point, and it slides off. And I am free. ]]>

Bag inspection, as dreaded as it is, takes no time at
all. All items pass. Worship the Buckingham fountain, drink some water,
ask info where the kids' area is. Get Bpu tagged in case she should get
lost. Text Ian that we have arrived. Get Bpu squirted by the squirtgun
crew, and check out the hip hop booth.
Bpu loves hip hop. The
rhyming, the fronting. But she won't step up to the mic. If she had,
they would have presented us with a CD, and send us on to make an album
cover. Kickass. I apply sun screen.
We head over to the hair
people. There are 4 folding chairs, a herd of adults and children
waiting for styles and color. We park it in front of the crying Chinese
kid and await our turn. Bpu gets a bobby-pinned flip with pink hair
color spray.
Ian finds us! We head over towards the stage where
Jill is, make plans for Cpu's later arrival. Black Joe is loading up at
7:00 to play another venue, so we agree to meet at the fountain at
6:00. And then I turn to find Bpu in line for double-dutch jump roping.
Which becomes her jumping in place, us jumping together, and eventually
jump roping ends without us. Which is ok because I spin us both dizzy
anyways.
End up back at the Small Paul booth, where we get a
kid's canvas tote silk screened. Bpu asks how they get the Chicken on
there, and the friendly staffer clarifies how screen printing transfers
the ink onto the bag. No, she says. How did they get the image of the
chicken onto the screen? To which he patiently replys all about
applying emulsion and burning the image in. We move the bag to the
drying clothes line, and proceed to watch more hip hop. Someone hands
us some bubbles, which will come in handy later.
Ah! It's only
4:15, but the kids area is totally shutting down. There is soon nothing
to do, and about 2 more hours to go. I take Bpu for a strawberry ice
cream cone, and we sit at a shady picnic table.
"Daddy," she begins, "Lollapalooza is a little bit boring."
"What do you mean, honey?"
"I expected that at the end of the show, the band would throw candy to all the children."
Of
course. No candy. She goes on to explain that she spent all day
yesterday pretending to be at the show, throwing candy to herself.
Awesome! How could they compete? I let her know that I will certainly
bring that up to someone at the kids' area.
Repeat squirting at
squirtgun station. We are somewhat refreshed. Go get in line at the
drinking fountains. Bpu helps fill one bottle. Bpu drinks and pours
water on herself while I laugh. Bystanders are amused. I calmly chew
her out and send her to fill another bottle. She flirts with others.
Equipped
with water, I redo the sun screen. We find a DJ doing a set at BMI
stage, and Bpu starts to dance. I move us into the shade of a tent. Bpu
grabs crotch, a sure sign of needing to use the potty. Awesome. I head
us to the huge lines of concert goers (pun intended) waiting for a free
National portapotty. Awesome I think, National is playing later.
Oh, the wait. And when we get in, there's no paper and
the last lady was a squatter, so the seat's totally soaked. I find
paper on the floor, wipe the seat, and end up holding Bpu over the rim
so she can pee and poop without touching anything. That's love. Bpu
asks about wiping because her business (lady business) is still wet.
Sorry, baby.
We exit, sanitize, and go back to the DJ. Blow
bubbles, apply stickers to the Small Paul poster, spin, dance, and more
bubbles, all the way to 6:00. Whew! Burned out, we hit the fountain.
Jill and Ian are already there, and soon Cpu is late. Can't call, the
lines are busy.
It turns out, she's not late: the Lolla
employees were arguing with her about whether or not she could meet us
at the fountain. Apparently, the employees did not realize that if you
went through the giant Lolla gate, 1/4 of the fountain was open to the
public. Which was where we were. Eventually she found us, and I
wrangled Ipu and Bpu while she chatted.
After 6:45, we left the
grounds together. Kids split a Dunkin Donuts mini pizza, and we ride
the El again, exhausted. Ipu refuses to sit in my lap, since I don't
have a window seat. She also refuses to sit with Cpu. I hate my life
for another 20 minutes. And realize there's no way I'm going back for
Wilco or RATM. Too tard to rock. ]]>

Cat Power at the PlayStation stage. I park in front of the sound booth. Text friends in hopes they can find me there. Messages sent, but no reinforcements arrive. It's a good set, but starts to get a little long for me. Drummer is a heavy dude with a sort of lace up renaissance shirt, reminds me of Luciano Neighbors keep splitting for different shows. I advance. Eventually am maybe 10 rows from stage. Ends on high note, and Cat hands out crumpled paper, water bottles, and assorted objects from stage to her fans. Amused, I split for some dinner.
Without drink and food, I will soon perish. All this standing up in the sun is starting to take its toll. BMI stage is shady in retrospect. After waiting in line 15 minutes, discover the beer line is out of wrist bands. I buy a lame local beer since the Belgian is gone, and a 7-dollar polish sausage. Tasty.
I wait another 15 minutes in line to refill my water bottles at an 8-person drinking fountain, and move on out to get a good spot for The Jicks. Whose set I totally enjoy, but about 14 years too late. Like the polish sausage, it is also tasty: like rolling Kurt Cobain, The Breeders, and that guitar player from Dinosaur Jr. along with some tempura tidbits into a spicy sushi hand roll just for me. Duly noted that I need to spend some quality time with Pavement.
After getting my rock handed to me by The Jicks, Radiohead was a pretty big let down. The set started out and mostly remained very down tempo. Props to the designers of the light show a; I love the grid, and each video screen was divided into about 8 cells of video feed, at different angles and of different band members. Feeds changed position and monochrome colors.
At this point, I'd like to point out that, like all the other bands today, I had never listened to Radiohead. Actually, I had listened once through OK Computer. But through the show, I was basically giving them a good shot at impressing me. And it didn't. Too much vocal crybaby audio. I did manage to get kind of submerged in a sort of underwater Smashing Pumpkins-style audio wall of sound. I enjoyed me some grumbly low bass. I really dug the two up tempo techno-spun tunes about 9 songs in. But if I could turn down the levels on just the vocals, I would have turned them off.
By 11 songs in, they had already killed my Jicks rock buzz. And right after that, it went back to more down tempo whiny vocals. There was no sign of letting up, either. I split the show, saw some fireworks while crossing over the Metra tracks, and picked up the El back at Library. 45 minutes later I was catching some well-earned Zzzs back at the ranch. ]]>

Skil Saw vs. Basketball Hooptag:skull.piratehaven.org,2008:/~epu/pumanchu//1.1082008-07-13T03:09:36Z2008-07-13T03:25:41ZEpuhttp://www.purins.com As part of my Fathers' Day wishes, I let Cpu and Bpu know that I really wanted a reciprocating saw, aka Milwaukee Sawzall. When it didn't materialize, I figured I would see it for my birthday. I was right.
There are as many reasons to want to own a Sawzall as there are things to cut with one. And you can cut anything. Drywall, sewage pipes, lathe, conduit. Personally, I was going to cut down my hoop.]]>
Too close to the windows of my house.
Too close to my deck.
The park, 1 block away, has a full court.
Rusty vagina-like gap growing a maple tree in it.
It turns out, it also had hornet nests in all the pipes, and the back nine looks so much better with it down now. It looks like we have loads more space.
It was pretty easy going. I grabbed my work gloves, a ladder (which I almost put into the power lines!), and ran the extension cord from the garage to the hoop. Cracked open the satchel that came with the saw and popped in the metal cutting blade. Set the sawing speed to 2/6.
I tried sawing off the ends of the two bolts that held up the backboard, in hopes of pounding the bolts out. Too rusty. I had to make 4 more cuts to sever each bolt around the pipes holding it up, and one more in the adjustable height mechanism.
With that down, it was pretty easy going cutting the pole down. I did it in 3.5 foot lengths, so everything fits in the garbage bin. I had helped Plumber Uncle cut out the fused galvanized sewage cleanout in the basement with his Sawzall, so I followed that as best I could remember.
Bpu cheered me on from the dining room; I had woken her from her unusual nap. And then she asked to see the tree. I had forgotten there was a maple tree growing inside. I boosted her for a look into what Cpu is already calling the pole stump: Vlad the Impaler. Still growing.
It turns out the reason it's growing and the reason for the rusty vagina in the pole, is that there is cement inside the pole until just that height. The water must have worn its way through over the years.
Just have to smash up the cement base and cut up the remainder now.

Sigh. I've been manually bringing in my TiddlyWiki entries in order to prune the garbage, polish the gems, and use the summarizing features of Movable Type. I''ve also been tweaking out the templates. It's got me down.
The whole template structure knows about how many columns you have globally. If you cheat and set column numbers in the sidebar panel based on whether you are on the main index, you end up with broken styles -- the text just doesn't reach over to the sidebar.
Next, I want less widgets per template. Some navigation, but a lot less spamming of links or content. Sparse is better.
I can only imagine, once I am happy with the num and pos of widgets all over, the hell that will be flipping styles on a whim. Do users really use mt successfully? It seems like an awful lot of maintenance. ]]>
