This is why I disapprove of tee-total women.
Hmmm. I have just realized that I can't think of a single culture that doesn't either:
Coincidence? I think not. Any culture which forbade women from drinking but didn't arrange marriages would die out due to lack of childbirth.
Via Off on a Tangent.
Hopefully, last week's meeting will become a regular occurrence.
With that in mind, I modestly present boozeup.py, a function for generating the dates of our meetings. (The next is on the 12th of September.)
Needs a bit of testing, and I'll also wrap it up in a CGI, along with a venue generator. For this, I need 12 suggested venues, with a URL for each. A couple more near Paddington, perhaps one in Reading and another in Oxford, one in South London near the ReportLab boys, that sort of thing.
The last meeting was a blast. Chris Miles and I ended up going to Cubana and drinking cocktails. I was a bit woolly on Friday, I must say.
So, I only need 10 venues really - Cubana is a must, and I know South London pubs rather too well.
Urbanoids - you wern't planning on working this afternoon, were you?
Launcher X is in beta.
Aesthetics aside, there are few differences between Launcher X and Launcher III.
One nice thing though - applications copied to card are kept in a different directory to other files. When the card is scanned, it happens much faster than Launcher III can manage. Launcher III had to trawl through 30 MB of ebooks!
One thing I would have Really liked to see - when moving an application to a memory card, optionally allow prefs and databases to be moved too. If they were, they should be copied back to the handheld when the application is launched, just as the application itself is.
