You utter, utter bastard.
Quote: Griff @ March 31, 2008, 3:04 PMI've also been in presentations by Bjarne Stroustrup, Guido van Rossum and Steve Jobs. You might be the first person I've ever met who thinks that's cool!
Guido van Rossum??
You utter, utter bastard!
Seriously, you utter bastard!

Well, not the latter. Not unless you took the opportunity to spit in his face?
Quote: Griff @ March 31, 2008, 3:10 PMIan_w, I've got some vintage 1999 copies of the Python Library Reference and Python Reference Manual books if you're in the market to buy ? (Not signed by Guido I might add.)
I've also got a signed copy of the Python Cookbook but I'm going to hold onto that.
You putting them on ebay? PM me some more info anyway Griff. If they are in my price range I would be interested if only for collecter's sake!

Quote: Griff @ March 31, 2008, 3:10 PMBelieve me I was sat way too far back from Steve Jobs to spit in his face.
Anyway, Macs are cool.
You will be exorcised one day, do not fret!
Quote: Griff @ March 31, 2008, 2:59 PMYep, Aaron's mostly right.
But not completely right?
Quote: Griff @ March 31, 2008, 3:10 PMAnyway, Macs are cool.
Well... They aren't...
Quote: Griff @ March 31, 2008, 5:25 PMPaul - I added the qualifier "mostly" right because there seemed to be some suggestion in Aaron's explanation that WWW technology (HTML etc as per Berners-Lee) was involved in the routing of messages around the internet, which is still the preserve of the underlying TCP/IP network.
Oh good Lord no! The spine of the network was of course long established!
Quote: Griff @ March 31, 2008, 5:25 PMAnd Macs are cool. It's a scientific fact.
You'll get better, don't worry.
