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 [...]
Today I continued working on the rctime module with the supervision of Anders. I’m improving my knowledge of rpython and how the interpreter level and application level works and how to make them communicate. This is not really documented in deep so you’ve to check out examples also. Sad, a swiss boy, joined us and [...]
This is the report of the first day of the PyPy sprint session here at CERN. The sprint began in the early afternoon (1.30pm) because this morning there was the CERN’s visit. They started doing a crash-course-tutorial-so-my-head-did-boom presentation. PyPy is really complicated but it’s an interesting challenge. If you want to know more about its [...]
These are my notes about the last day of the conference. Today was a more “relaxed” day because there were less tracks. I followed a bunch of tracks, mostly project management. We, the Italian maphia , managed to take some pictures with Guido. I’ll upload them to flickr when the guy with the camera will [...]
Another wonderful day in the Python-land. Today I met a lot of other people and I had interesting discussion with Steve Alexander from Canonical. I also had the chance to ask a question to Guido about the “hated” buffer object protocol after his track about the future of our beloved language. I had a wonderful [...]
The first day here at EuroPython was definitely amazing. It’s the first time I go to a conference abroad and I’m stunned about the environment. You can meet people you only “dream” about, happen to talk with Guido Van Rossum itself around the building and do some other nice things. I think I can’t remember [...]
The first day in Geneva is over. This morning we left the beautiful Zurich to move to Geneva. Swiss public transportation service is far more better that the Italian one. Efficient, on time and clean. It seems basically normal to some but in Italy is not the standard service Geneva is very nice and clean. [...]
Just came back for our day in Zurich. Tomorrow morning we gotta catch the train to Geneva. Zurich is great. People is good, girls are damn pretty and there’s plenty of pub and places to meet people. I liked the city centre really much. It’s full banks, UBS is everywhere. The only problem is that [...]
I’m in Zurich now at my friend’s home. There’s plenty of beautiful girls and the city seems great. Tomorrow we move to Geneva to CERN for the pre-registration of EuroPython conference. That’s us in Zurich at his house:
