See you at PyCon 2006
I finally got around to booking my PyCon 2006 registration and hotel. This will be my 2nd PyCon, but this time I’m not presenting (which cuts the preparation time down quite a bit :-)
Hope to see you there!

A few books I'm reading now:
-
Crucial Conversations: Tools for Talking When Stakes are High
-
Watchmen
-- graphic novel (and an upcoming movie)
-
What Got You Here Won't Get You There: How Successful People Become Even More Successful
-
The Unwritten Laws of Business
-
The Simplicity Survival Handbook: 32 Ways To Do Less And Accomplish More
A few books I'd recommend:
-
Naked Economics: Undressing the Dismal Science
by Charles Wheelan -- A fantastic overview of the field of Economics. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this book.
-
A Short History of Nearly Everything
by Bill Bryson -- a true tale of scientific thinking throughout history. You'll be amazed by how much we still don't know.
-
Freakonomics [Revised and Expanded]: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything
by Steven D. Levitt, Stephen J. Dubner -- a fun read offering a somewhat different way of looking at society. Answers questions like "Why do drug dealers still live with their moms?", and what qualities in a parent matter for the success of a child later in life?

Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity
by David Allen. I'm a bit of a GTD freak since reading this, but productivity == $$ (whether you can simply get more work done in a given time, or work less by focusing on the right tasks.)

#69. Python in Your Pocket: Python for Series 60
Matt Croydon
Python for Series 60 has come a long way since it was released last winter. This session will provide an overview of Python on mobile phones, demonstrate how easy it is to develop applications with a native look and feel, explore the many aspects of a phone that can be controlled programmatically and showcase several applications written in Python.

Yup! I’m excited to hear Matt talk about the project. I find it wonderful to see non-Nokia people evangelizing it!

Dear Erik,
We must attend PyCon 2006 to see new version ? Python 1.3 for Series 60 will be released after PyCon 2006 ?
Best Regards,
Ottorino Bruni

8mobile — The 1.3 release schedule and “me attending PyCon” aren’t related, and unfortunately, I’m not allowed to “break news” on my blog, so I can’t discuss the 1.3 release schedule just yet. However, I can say that the process, policies, and practices for the project will be changing significantly (for the better) after this release. But until then, I have to stick with the policy of keeping quiet until a public annoucement.
