Stuffed. "Light lunch" in Paris is a tricky concept. @natbat got funny look for wanting rum in her hot chocolate, but they did it in the end |
@jcroft depends on the programming language... I think achieving a useful level of CSS may be harder than some procedural languages |
@jcroft CSS requires debugging, understanding of browser behaviour and clear, logical thinking - all of which are already programming skills |
Yay! Just got confirmation... Barcamp London 6 will be hosted by the Guardian at our shiny new offices in Kings Cross on 28th/29th of March |
Emerged from the Paris catacombs with @natbat. Gosh, that was a lot of bones. Now for a nice sit down with a stiff drink. |
@tommorris http://icanhaz.com/django-pdf links to nearly 800 pages of official Django docs as a PDF |
@charlesarthur any idea why Gus moved away from Lua? |
Seriously impressed with lua - looking forward to it shipping with next version of Apache httpd, should be a lot of fun |
No one seems to be inventing new languages these days that without including lexical scoping / closures. Has functional programming won? |
@jqueryui http://ui.jquery.com/applic... is broken in Firefox 2 - known issue? Is there a fix? |
Hmm... unless I'm mis-reading it, http://tinyurl.com/d3oduh is essentially master slave replication? Due for Postgre 8.4 |
Last year the PostgreSQL team announced plans to add replication to the core server... anyone know how that project's coming along? |

"import static System.out.println;" - wow, Java has functions! |
Fingers crossed for GCap/Global peeps :/ |
Chuckling at http://textism.com/favrd/pe... - Drew is a wit. |
@diveintomark I've been hoping you'd write Chapter 20 (Python Packaging) for years |
Prince Harry dumped via a Facebook status update? I've woken up in an elaborate parody of Web 2.0 |
@charltonbrooker don't suppose you have a scan of Helmut Werstler's Cruelty Zoo anywhere? It seems to be missing from the internet |
