That Brian Dorsey's a shady character! I'd love to be part of a PyCon
recap. Next couple of weeks is fine for me. May is less full-up though.
I've just sent you $20 by PayPal. Maybe gittip would work for this sort
of thing.
Django Seattle is on April 23rd, which I'll be attending.

The SeaPIG server had some hiccups today. It ran out of disk space
this morning and began bouncing mails, and at noon it got
CPU-overwhelmed and I rebooted it. From the logs it looks like a blast
of wiki spam, lots of requests like
"http://seapig.org/LuciaWBWW?action=login";, with different first names
and a robust number of last initials. And lovely referers like
"http://blo.gs/ping.php"; and
"http://www.seapig.org/couponst7?action=newaccount";. Sometimes it's
fun to look at logs for gems like these.
And one extremely suspicious user,
"http://www.seapig.org/BrianDorsey?action=login";. :) Did you get a
wiki error at 9:38 this morning? That was when the disk was full.
The upshot is that list mail and the wiki may be unreliable over the
next few weeks until I can rebuilt it with Ubuntu 13.04, which is
expected later this month and which hopefully Linode will support
soon. So I'm partly testing the mailing list and also...
When will the next meeting be? Its normal day would have been
yesterday. We should do a PyCon recap before too long while it's still
fresh in people's minds. Shall we do something in the next week or two
or wait till May? Shall we have it on a non-Thursday for the sake of
those who are always busy Thursdays?
Also, the annual server bill is coming April 30th, for $240. So I'm
looking for contributions to help offset the cost. If you want to
contribute, you can email me, use my PayPal account (same address), or
see me at a meeting.
