Dear python-dev:

The current (as of even date) summary of my recent contributions to Python -dev appears to be spam about PyCon.

Not being one to break habits, even not those of a lifetime sometimes, I spam you yet again to show you what a beautiful summary ActiveState have provided (I don't know whether this URL is cacheable or not):

Yup, we try to make all our URLs portable and persistent.

Good for you.

If I remember Trent Lott (?)


Nah, that's a US politician.  T'was Trent Mick.

Indeed, and already corrected.

described at an IPC the SQL Server database that drives this system, and it was a great example of open source technology driving a proprietary (but I expect (?) relatively portable) repository.


Modulo some SQLServer features we're using.

Well free-text indexing would be my first guess. Anything else of interest? MySQL's free text indexing really sucks compared with SQL Server's, which to my mind is a good justification for the Microsoft product.

Since I have your attention (and if I haven't then it really doesn't matter what I write hereafter, goodbye ...) I will also point out that the current top hit on Google for

"Microsoft to Provide PyCon Opening Keynote"


What a bizarre search.

Oh, no, people run that search all the time :-)

It's actually hit #3 for "Microsoft PyCon" as well, so I guess that's not too bad.

(note that some of your To's and Cc's were pretty strange...

Hmm, yes, I cringed when I got the bounces. That information didn't belong there. If only there were a way to take emails back ...

regards
 Steve
