I enjoyed reading Head First Python. It's well organised, well written and not at all dry. I recommend it. It covers web back-end, Android and Google App Engine, too. Head First Labs from O'Reilly Media, Inc. :: Head First Python

Nice one. I took a different approach - I made an MST transform file which sets the properties needed by the SOLUS agent MSI directly to the properties table. The tricky part was generating the GUID - I used an MSI custom action to generate a GUID, then another custom action to set the AGENTID property in the MSI table. But your solution is much, much simpler.

So you should be. Tusk tusk.

How strange. I've got a WD TV Live and it's great. Netflix in 1080 is great - makes DVDs look poor. The WD TV Live plays everything without transcoding - something to consider.

We want everybody to be above average these days. No-one gets left behind.

Good point. Suppose Jeremy Clarkson was on one side of the street, and David Cameron was on the other, and you could only hit one of them. This sort of thing would give the software engineers sleepless nights.

Back to the subway saga, neph should have made a five minute call before paying for the sandwich.

Oh that really gets on my nerves. I mean, you've made the effort to go to the shop, in the middle of a transaction or getting advice, and the assistant seems to think that answering a call made by someone who couldn't be bothered to visit is more important than you. A ringing phone is loud and an interruption, but it's not more important the a customer with money in your shop. Somehow, we've been conditioned to regard a ringing phone as something that must be answered in preference to dealing with people in front of us. Weird. You could of course phone the business whilst you're actually in the shop and conduct the transaction over the phone. At least the phone won't interrupt you.

There were around 1000 extra deaths on the road in the US in the period after 9/11 as more people shunned flying and chose the riskier option of driving.

I had a copy of 'Big K' with a cover disc - they called it a 'flexidisc'. I'm not joking, it was a thin, plastic record which you had to copy to tape to play the games that were recorded on the record. Must have been about 1984.

I miss nostalgia. I've still got some computer mags from the '80s (earliest is a copy of PCW from 1981 with Guy Kewney reviewing a Triumph Adler 'AT compatible').

For Windows, this might be of use. https://www.mafiasecurity.com/access-control/step-by-step-radius-server-guide/ If you're using Windows RADIUS, the radius logs are not human readable, so you'll need a radius log parser program to work out what's going wrong when your APs or clients don't connect. This will save you a lot of time. I set up a system ages ago using FreeRadius. I can't remember much about it, but it did seem to work OK. It was on a Linux system, so if you're using Windows it'll be of little help. If nothing else, this will give you a good primer on Radius. http://wiki.freeradius.org/guide/Concepts guide/FAQ Another option is to use a managed system like Packetfence. You can download pre-built virtual machines which you can configure. Again, I've had success with Packetfence (which I think uses FreeRadius) http://www.packetfence.org/home.html

I'd also look at Mutools. I used to use its ancestor, Muzys, when I used to use Windows. MuTools.com It's a really nice bit of software. There's a cut down free version.

Man's best faecal friend has brightened up my Turdsday!

The hypothesis would have to show that the carrier would have a transmission vector in all religions, not just current major religions. The vectors themselves need not be common (e.g. shared cups, as not all religion share vessels), but they need to be present. Otherwise, you'll be cherry picking if you didn't include all religions. What rituals do seventh day adventists have in common with those who followed Odin? I don't know, I picked them at random.

Quite. I find it odd how a Minister of Banana Skins one day is Defence Secretary the next day. I suppose they are talking heads, advised by people under them who know what they're talking about. Patterson was an oddball, as pointed out earlier he rejected the science on climate change - it may be apocryphal, but he refused to read any report that contained the phrase 'climate change'. I notice though, that he totally embraced medical science when he went for his eye operation. He didn't consult his postman or a florist for advice about his eye problem.
