plastic phun

did you know manchester is in a 3rd world country in which no piece of plastic can be wasted?
aparently so. someone felt so in need they stole the cover of my domi. hopefully it keeps someone dry now. poor bike had to stand in the manchester rain for three days till i got round to buying a new one.

after buying a new one i understand why people mite stell one. 50 squid!! well i got a 10% discount and a can of WD40 ontop but still. this one is long enough so i can roll the front wheel onto it and it has funny little slits at the front and back, assume they are ment to have a chain thru them. at least thats what im doing now. when you wnat to take it now you have to rip it and push the bike over. lets hoep noones that desperate. while i was beign nice to the bike i even cleaned it! it started rainign after about 5 minutes. but i got rid of the last bits of dust still on it from the trip to the ardeche this summer.

been reading lots of intresting articles about zope2/3 and plone. did some work in plone for the new kuss website. mainly playing with zope's builtin xmlrpc support. we will use xmlrpc to get data from flash into zope(i.e. editing stuff) and use ZPT to generate xml documents flash can read to get information into flash clips. why not use xmlrpc to get data into flash? well we could but for one we already had the loading data from xml documents code available and using xml ducments has the following advantage: you can cache them and other people can look at them and imediatly understand the available data. xmlrpc makes this a bit more complicated.

back to more worldly events: soph was so brave as to take me home home with her for the weekend. giving me a chance to make a fool out of myself infront of her friends&family. think it went reasonably well and i behaved myself. cant remember anyone running away from me or shouting,]] and yes virgin trains have power plugs everywhere so you can plug in your laptop but chairs are so close together that i didnt really enjoy working. like her home and friends.

thats all for now. hungry.
