Good news for Python lovers using Windows. Microsoft released IronPython Studio for free. I’ll repeat: FOR FREE. Based on Visual Studio 2008, this thing could be a what breaks those stubborn Python-ignorers.
Thank you Microsoft and Clarius Consulting Labs!
See this blogpost for some installation instructions.

I come a little late to the party, but Gravatar has freed up most of their previously paid features. You can now have multiple e-mail addresses and more than two avatars without having to pay for it. So….go here.

There is a new (labs) version of Flash Player 9, but still….no x64 support. What a shame for such a big company. It’s a fucking LABS release, so give us the x64 version and WE will play with it for you. Hey, we might even call it testing in the field and give you back some feedback.
The idiots themselves test on a Pentium4 system running at 2.33GHz with 128MB (yep, megabytes) of RAM and 64MB VRAM. To play HD content. Are they braindead? Why in the world would you want to play HD content on a crippled system? If you have a HD TV, you should as well be able to pay for the right hardware to drive it. Or else you buy a normal tabletop player, not a PC.
Adobe is so not of this world. Their money did Macromedia not much good, that’s for sure.

One of my dear friends has passed away. He has never ceased to amaze his medical staff, since he was one of the few people with a transplanted heart that lived longer than anyone expected. At 10 years he knew that every day, every month, every year would be considered “overtime”. Since then 86 years have passed.
In his last moments, he had a lot of pain. So I hope, not that he believed in that kind of stuff, that he is in a better place now.
Sjoerd, you will be missed. Thanks for being such a remarkable person. Someone that will never be forgotten. Never.
Nicole, you know where to find me if you need any support.
