Blue Sky On Mars

I’ll be hosting a chat on #turbogears on irc.freenode.net at 12PM Eastern/5PM GMT on Wednesday, January 3rd.

There’ll be an announcement or two, a special guest and talk of TG 2.0. Feel free to bring your questions along!

See you then!

Hey there! Happy holidays to you all! Thanks for quite an eventful 2006.
My blog has been in an unfortunate extended quiet period recently. I expect the dry spell to be ending soon, with new things that go beyond the “all TurboGears all the time” focus that’s been here of late.

If you can be in Sandusky, Ohio next month, check out CodeMash - January 18 & 19, 2007. It’s a software development conference for people using just about any toolset to develop software. Early registration (ending on the 18th!) is $99, and the event is at an indoor waterpark. Java, .NET, Python, Ruby, PHP and more are all represented, and there’s a good lineup of speakers.
