I'd say that I prefer my tiled surfaces, but somehow that seems...inappropriate ;)

The same thing that's "fancy and modern" about steel and glass kitchens. The materials have been there for a while but now, the 'industrial minimalism' look is in ;)

Bloody hell, £389 ($610)/GB? Please tell me that someone has misplaced the decimal point here!

That's just it though - it almost feels too simple ;)

Aha, see what you did there :)

That, or Apple wrote your spam filter. "C++? Pfft - far too high-level. You will use Obj-C!" It's just trying to stop you from falling in with the wrong crowd ;)

Nah, I think all this olympic-related net traffic is swamping the connection. Africa's still on 56.6 kbps. =P

Just browsing through my email, I've realised just how much spam gets on my nerves. Not because I've been sent unsolicited fraudulent mail, but because the link that I'm supposed to click contains my email address and first name passed as GET parameters, as if I wouldn't be able to manipulate that. I get the feeling that anyone with style would have found a way to pass it as a POST parameter. Or maybe I just get a lower class of spam than everyone else. I'm wondering whether or not it's odd that I'm not particularly annoyed by the spam on principle, but more that I'm disappointed by the standard of spam I get =P

Oh, sod it all, let's just use Python :D

Hi there, I'm writing a small(ish) Python app that is designed to play a list of sounds. Ever seen QLab? A bit like that. The problem I have is this: I have a threading.Timer that (at the moment) prints to the console that a sound has finished playing - it will change the UI, eventually, but the printout is all I need for now - but the timer does not wait until the interval is complete before it fires the function. Code:

playout_1_timer = threading.Timer(10.0,musicDone)
playout_1_timer.start()

def musicDone():
print "Music finished playing"

However, the timer does not wait the 10 seconds as it should, and calls musicDone as soon as .start() is called. What's going on? Thanks, icemclean
