Well, as it will shortly be explained, yesterday I could not post a diary entry. However, today I can, thanks to Adi's undying efforts. (Thanks, man!) Adi came to visit me, and helped me get my computer up and running. Now it is working fine, with all the frills, and I can finally contribute to Python comfortably. Adi and I played with the computer until 21:00, and then I drove him home. Then I began the long ride to Herzelia (45 minutes legally, 30 minutes my way). I got to Gidi's birthday party a bit late, but had loads of fun. I met all the guys from the military, and we swapped experiences, starting with the common question "Which start-up do you work for?" (except, of course, the people still in the army....) Lots of cute girls too, so there was even a lovely scenery. Then I got back home, resynced with the Python CVS tree and went to sleep. Later today I got up and checked in my long waited patches. The effbot didn't like one of them, and decided to say so only *after* I checked it in. I still think it's good -- we'll see.
