I love the ol’ hub and spoke paradigm [1] for transporting things places. I mean, seriously, it is the most efficient methods of routing in that all points can be connected with the (number of points) minus one routes. All points can be reached in no more than two jumps.

After several iterations of arguing the denials of my request for lxml to be installed as a Python egg, my web host finally acquiesced. I think I’m going to print this out and get it framed: Hello, I apologize for the delay. We were able to install this for you: xxxxxxx@xxxxxxxx.net [~/lxml-3.3.5]# CFLAGS=”-O0″ easy_install –install-dir=/xxxxx/xxxxxxx/xxxxx/xxxxxxx/python2.6/site-packages…

A thing I’m working on is supposed to interact with a Scheduled Task [1] if it exists. Instead of writing out my own parser for this backwater of the Windows operating system I found something lying about at CodePlex [2].
