Python

And now for something completely different:
We bring you to the apartment of Rob Stongetti, a man who claims to have created the world's first good looking myspace profile. To tell us about his acheivement, we__

Hold on a second! That's not completely different.

I BEG your pardon?!

You just then said that something completely different would appear.

Yes? You've just witnessed a segue from a lady attacking a Starbucks with a novelty pencil, to you, a man with a command of web-page constitution, I'm sorry if my non-sequitur meter is broken.

Can't you see? Both plot the tale of an eccentric protagonist, relying on the viewer's humour to provide a strange commentary on modern day capitalsim....and neither featured a red porcupine named Roger.

...Who are you? The King of comparative literature?

*whooosh* DID SOMEONE CALL????

What noooooooow?

You shall bow in my presence, for I, Hunter Codswallop, am the King of comparative literature.

Oh my, I don't believe this. You can't be serious?

I'm as serious as that time in The Taming of The Shrew when__

Comparative Literature isn't a Monarchy, anyone can do it these days! You take an Orwellian masterpiece, the latest episode of Veronica Mars, and then claim the creators of both were fighting the world's oppression against left-handers.

I'm......I'm an oppressed left-hander. I've never confessed it before, but I first knew it at church one Sund'y when I was a lad, Father McKinnon showed me he was a left-hander. I've always tried to hide it by using my right, but I know I can't deny it for ever - I even vote for the left!

Thankyou for that....charming confession. And now for something completely different.

Not again...

Amazing news in from Microsoft: That's right, a P2P chat application with NO code written by the user at all. I was struck by two thoughts - (a) Is Microsoft just telling a big fib, and (b) is it a good thing that P2P apps can be written with no code? Having recently downloaded the NetBeans 6.1 Beta IDE to help with some Java GUI, I decided to test this out...so channeling the reviewing style of Jeremy Clarkson and simile generation of Zero Punctuation , welcome to my first ever IDE roadtest: Can NetBeans create a code-less P2P app? Armed with only NetBeans 6.1 Beta, a little plastic ball of mouse in my right hand I can start this java experiment ‐ while my left hand is free to go off and make itself some coffee, play golf with Donald Trump, or really do whatever it wants now that it's not required to write any code. I foresee it could soon become quite the socialite. The first step is upgrading my old NetBeans 6.0 to the new 6.1 version. Unfortunately, 'upgrade' he

For those who hadn't heard, Blogger recently launched the feature I'd been working on for the last few months - threaded commenting:  http://buzz.blogger.com/2012/01/engage-with-your-readers-through.html This post is mostly just a call to everyone reading to comment more on blogs - Blog authors like it when they get (non-spam) comments, and commenters get to engage with the author and hopefully discuss with someone who shares an interest. More on this later, but first I have to say, a big thankyou to our users; for both their patience in getting this feature, and the positive reaction to it. What do I mean by the latter? I was a bit of a social-network junkie after launch, searching for reactions, and so throughout this post the images I'm using will be screen-shots of a choice few (click to enlarge): *Squeee* I love reading feedback like this, and just want to keep doing stuff people will like!  My hope all along was to give people what they wanted - including me

Sounds good - part 1

I've spent a bit of time recently on one particular coding project of mine: Go-Sound , which is a library for sound manipulation and analysis written in Golang. When explaining it to people however, it turns out that not many people know how sounds work - indeed, I didn't until recently - which is interesting as it's something we use all the time (statistically, you're probably hearing something while reading this) but don't really know much about. This post is an introduction to the library, but also hopefully serves as a tutorial about what sound actually is. Sound = changing pressure When you hear a sound, what are you actually sensing? Sound waves are actually changes in pressure that are picked up by your eardrum. When you hit a drum, or pluck a string, or blow air through a tube, you are vibrating the air, and these pressure changes travel out in all directions - if they hit an ear, those changes will get interpreted as sounds. Once convenient way to rep
