My last sprint day was good but I lost a lot of time around some limitations and a bug that’s actually there (anyway unit tests pass) but I’m fighting to win, so I’ll win

I had the chance to pair with Armin Rigo itself and I think that I learned a lot from him (and also from Anders of course). Pair programming with the guys like them it’s important to my knowledge of PyPy and Python.

We have been invited by Richard Jones, a pygame guru, to see a nice and funny presentation about pygame and its capabilities. He was using Bruce as the presentation tool and I’ll definitely try it because it seems awesome!

Other guys have started porting md5, random and zlib also so maybe we’ll managed to port all the Python standard library someday

In the evening Fabrizio and I played to Carcassonne with Armin, Richard and a really nice swedish summer student named Pauline. We italians didn’t know that game but Richard was very kind to teach us how to play. Obviously we lost but Richard, a master board game player, was defeated by Pauline

So that’s all from my first PyPy sprint.

If you want to follow my SoC/PyPy work you’ll find it in pypy.module.rctime (which probably will be renamed as time when completed).
