How do you turn off accesskeys in Wikipedia? It’s a real bother, and a quick glance at the code doesn’t show a simple way to turn it off for the two most obnoxious uses, Alt-E (which trumps the Edit menu selection in Windows) and Alt-F (which does the same for the File menu).

Hardware failures
My hard drive is very unhappy, which means that I can’t do any of the experimental hacking I was hoping to do on the plane on the way back tomorrow. It’s fascinating that having a drive that causes the OS to complain (mildly but scarily) when lots of new files are created has basically no [...]
Computers, sigh…
Sigh. Things aren’t quite right in the computer department. Thunderbird is using 170,394Kb of memory after running for 10 minutes. My hard drive is flaking out while at a conference. VPN doesn’t make it out of the conference LAN. Luckily, people are more reliable, friends are still friends and chefs can still cook.
PyCon
First day at PyCon 2005. It’s, as usual, interesting. Random bits: Crowded! It’s bigger than ever, clocking in over 400. It’s caused some headaches of the good kind (catering more expensive than planned, not enough t-shirts, rooms are packed). Not too surprisingly given the buzz around Python, there are big names (although we’ve had big [...]
Python and OpenGL on Nokia Phones
Sitting here at ETech, just after Erik Smartt, product manager for the Python on Nokia product, gave the first real public demo of the Symbian/Series 60 port of Python. The highlight was a PyOpenGL demo (the code isn’t available yet, and the author is not public either). Click on the picture for the Quicktime movie. [...]
Web 3.0?
In which I wax hypothetical on what comes after the Web 2.0 programming model.
Cal Henderson Quotes
Cal Henderson, from flickr, at the PHPWest conference: “Avoid code reuse (just a nice typo)” and, talking about phpxpath: “phpxpath is great. It’s on Sourceforge, but it’s still great” and about UTF8: “Can’t remember what UTF-8 stands for. Something something something eight!” a bit that made Rasmus and me feel old: “I think UUencode stands [...]
Sun & Dynamic Languages
Nice to see that Tim Bray is helping Sun learn about dynamic languages. I wish I’d been a fly on that wall, if for no other reason that the weather down there looks nice!
