Congratulations! Contrary to FTI last year, you managed to actually send me a KOA Value Kard. You did only marginally better than your competitor, though. The card reads "valid until 12/2007."
...I got a hair cut, received the second TBEV vaccination shot and had a productive meeting.

No rant about MacOS today, but a rant about software authors who apparently know nothing else than their favourite Linux distribution. I'm trying to get Mapnik to work. They claim that it now works on MacOS. On 10.5, perhaps. On 10.4 you'll need a newer Python version. Not at least 2.4, but exactly 2.4. However, both Boost and Mapnik link against the system python version 2.3 and install in the directories of version 2.4.
Apparently their scheduler isn't. I had an I/O and CPU intensive job running over night on the PowerBook. The system did not run out of memory. But it swapped out sshd, which resulted in the active SSH clients to time out with server does not respond. Which subsequently killed the running job. After six hours.
...until the start of one week of Christmas vacation. And our customers are opening calls like crazy with the most peculiar questions.
After one hour, 38 Q-tips, several test photos and lots of swearing I finally got rid of the newly accumulated sensor dust.
