Comment on Thoughts on Intellectual Property by shawn

I have a website idea and have been brainstorming and organizing the overrall layout. To what degree must a website have patents? I always thought it was open game since the functionality of most websites are pretty universal outside the name of the URL. If i plan on running a sql database, does the way the information is accessed need to be patented? would that be considered the source code? Do the icons and symbols we employ subject to patent laws? I think that the more similar websites there are, the better it is for business. Seems to get people talking and comparing similar websites, but the same service provided. Do I have the internet all wrong?

Mmm, maybe I am a tad skeptical, but it’s only opinion. My main problem with unittesting for languages like this, is that you need to test the entire binary. The dynamic typing means you will be in a lot of trouble if you accidentally return a class of one type but expect something else at some other point. Ie, you need to spend a lot of time either unittesting, or function testing on a very high level (which would come automatically with compiled languages).

That said, the eve client is written in python. I haven’t even looked at the unit testing framework and how to use it in python yet =)

Interesting thoughts, Oskar.

Sad then that you don’t believe in large projects for Python, since I have a great idea in my mind (which I have to keep for myself for now). I was hoping you would participate — and the project I have in mind will become… very large.

Well, we’ll see. I am hacking myself into Trac, or around, playing with plugins. Quite fun I would say, and I agree with your observations. Python seems very “hackable”, but it also seem very competent. But you are definitely right when your state that the loose (dynamic) typing can cause problems.

Unit testing will be a major concern for all Python projects. Perhaps that’s why they’ve included a whole unit testing module?

Best regards!

Comment on LG KC910 woes by John Baratta

I also have a KC910 and agree with the comments above. I also discovered that recurring appointments are totally screwed up on the phone making the whole exercise of syncing totally pointless. Today I thought I’d give LG tech support a call to see if there was a solution. Don’t bother! They denied there was any problem with the phone and there software and basically implied that any problems were my fault.
I will never buy an LG phone again!

I’ve got a KC910, installed mini opera. Installed fine, works great. I agree, the standard browser is terrible, but mini opera goes great. make sure you have latest firmware and try again. Also, if anyone has found a way to sync wit google calendar(s), would be great to know.

Totally agree with you. I started to search for a deecent google calendar sync to the KC910 and stopped at the point where I discovered, that none of the other OS (like Android / Windows) can be instaloled on this phone. This phone has totaly changed my future shoping preferences…

Comment on Inproductive productivity by Oskar Andreasson

Thank you! I started blogging on blogger just for my self… kind of like a public/private diary to see how it is and what can be done with it, but I finally decided to go with wordpress on frozentux.net, instead of doing my own new framework. When I did so, I decided to simply import the old blogposts I had, and here you are .

Python seems like an awesome language tbh. I started a little fiddling with it half a year ago or so. In one evening (3-4 hours perhaps) I went from writing my first “hello world” to writing a complete bluetooth scanner. Admittedly some cut’n'paste, but very much possible to do on your own very quickly .
