    Going to a healthfarm
How can I say this? Ehm...

import time
MyWorkStuff.persist()
time.sleep (1209600)

I'm off on hols and going cold turkey on e-mail, blogging etc. I'm off to a health farm. Actually, no I'm not. That is a lie. I'm off to walk around Barcelona and eat my way throught its fish restaurents with my family. (It amounts to much the same thing:-).

Back on the 19th.

    Bloglines - a blessing and a curse (and a happy birthday)
Bloglines is a year old today. I find it indespensible. Unfortunatly, its popularity has rendered by site stats system rather ineffective.

90% of the entries are of the form http://stats.blogger.com/redirector.pyra?t=http%3A%2F%2Fbloglines.com%2Fmyblogs_display%3Ffolder%3DNNNNN.

Is there a way to work back from this to the bloglines identity I wonder?

    Python and Java technology work together to solve the impossible
Python and Java technology work together to solve the impossible is the title of an article over on IBM Developerworks. [via Daily Python URL].

Jython is a wonderful tool to have in any test-driven application development plan. The speed with which you can implement new tests, slice and dice exisiting tests, create smart "batch" runs of tests etc. with Jython has to be seen to be believed.

If you are developing tests of Java code in Java. STOP RIGHT NOW! :-) Double your productive day with Jython. (I'm not kidding.).
