Found myself giving a webcast about Stronghold
which brought back memories of actually coding Stronghold
back in 1995 or 1996. For the last 6 months or so I've
been trying to resist coding on Stronghold, and for the
most part I've managed it, although its tempting to dive
in - it's so much easier to measure productivity when
you're actually coding. After a couple of years in
production it will be great to see it finally released.
I'm probably off to N+I in Las Vegas in May which should
be fun.
Back from the UK armed with fizzy sweets (US translation:
sour candy) which seem to be popular in the office. When
we got bought by Red Hat last year I gave a short
presentation on Stronghold to all the developers. There
was a large collective groan when they found out bits of it
were Perl based and that all our developers knew Perl and
that we didn't like Python. Actually, I shouldn't have
said I didn't like Python until I'd actually read about it
because after spending the flight learning it I think I'd
prefer it for most of my scripting needs. So I'm back in
the North Carolina snow for a little while, although I
don't think Tracy back in Glasgow is too pleased at that
thought.
Meanwhile I converted my photo album scripts to output XML
(index.xml)
with stylesheets
(index.xsl) as the old system wasn't very flexible
