  1. Re:Python to Ruby on Web Development with TurboGears and Python · · Score: 1

    Well, if you use Unicode then either Python based framework would probably be btter. Also, there are in general a lot more tools and libraries to help you on your way with Python coding than with Ruby coding.

    Wow, Ace, you said that really well. I think you correct! Ron

  3. Whatever gets you through the night... on Tricks of the Podcasting Masters · · Score: 1

    That's totally cool... I totally appreciate your lack of beligerance towards me despite my self serving tendencies.

    Please pardon my regression into late 50's early 60's jargon..since I wrote that review of Rob Walch's book about the podcasting phenomenon, I have learned that it is a fact that Bob Dylan will release his latest album (first in almost five years---the last was released on September 11, 2001) and, for the first time I can personally recall, he has also released the name of the album in advance. It will be called Modern Times. That's ironic given Dylan's 5 decade long journey into the past prior to this release.

    I'm happy.

    ...and just a little bit scared...

    is this serendipitously synchronistic, or what?

  5. The medium is the message on Tricks of the Podcasting Masters · · Score: 1

    There is a lot of difference between the spoken word and the printed word. Each has its good points, but they are different. I never understood this until I began podcasting and listening to podcasts.

    Sometimes it helps to read about a subject, and then hear about it, to go back and forth. Universitiy professors have understood this for hundreds of years.

    Counter-intuitively, it works extremely well for learning programming concepts. Read about the concepts, use the concepts, listen to a lecture about them, then read some more, then do, then read-listen do, read listen do.

    It works. The human mind is not a static, works-best-only-one-way device. Maybe Marshual Macluhan was on to something after all.
