I planned on having an entry tomorrow showing a more in-depth example of combining Twisted with Stackless python, but it’s taking a little longer than expected to get all the pieces together. The example will be using what is in my opinion the most useful part of Twisted: the Perspective Broker. I [...]
Another way to integrate Twisted with Stackless python, is to use multiple threads. One thread handles Twisted’s reactor while Stackless tasklets run in at least one other thread. This lowers the deterministic nature of Stackless, but for certain conditions may be more effective than trying to integrate Twisted and Stackless into a single [...]
Note: I found the following while surfing and googling around. The article’s terms of use allows for copying it, as long as I maintain the proper attributions.
Most new authors have no idea how book sales happen or what numbers to expect. A typical successful book from a major publisher sells between 20,000 and 40,000 [...]
They’re not necessarily new, but these are some strips I like.
The Order of the Stick (doesn’t allow hot linking ).
I know, no great new findings here, but I thought it’d be nice to share to those few out there who may not actually have seen either of these strips before.
The Observer pattern is mainly used to implement a distributed event handling system. The primary objective of this pattern is to provide a way to handle run-time one-to-many relationships between objects in a loosely coupled arrangement.
In this configuration, the Observable object doesn’t know anything more about it’s Observers than a very limited interface. [...]
I stumbled across this software package during a google search on tools for writers. I bought it and installed it after doing some more research about it.
Even though I tend to be a “pantser” when it comes to writing, I went through the dialogs and screens. I won’t make any grandiose claims about [...]
So, it’s Friday, and here we go with a small handful of YouTube clips I watched this week:
Complete with bad-ass jazzy Samurai gonna kick yo butt music.
Yeah, I’m still digging the new Metallica album.
Oftentimes, you need to have objects that communicate with each other via events. This is a very useful setup, for example, in a GUI — where these events represent things like mouse clicks, key strokes, or button presses. That’s not what I developed these classes for, since I was more interested in simulating [...]
To continue with the theme of “Stuff in Steve’s Apartment”, I’m now going to survey items found in my living room. To qualify, they must in some way or another, be in contact with the floor (which, by the way, is a nice hardwood floor that just cries out for you to slide on [...]
For the next week (until 4pm, Tuesday September 30, 2008), the price for the e-book download version of Stephen Coursen’s Path Into Darkness is reduced to $2.95.
Any blogger interested in doing a review of the book, can contact me in the comments section and I’ll get them an e-book for review purposes.
