Zope is not known for it’s good documentation, but this Plone manual seems to be well written and can be generally useful for someone wishing to develop for Zope without Plone. Thanks to the Plone community for their continued good work.

…the world’s lost it’s collective mind. I tend to think the later. How is this possible Obama Wins Nobel Peace Prize? Maybe the Nobel Piece prize: Piece of my pie! Piece of my paycheck. What a joke. This joker hasn’t done anything (*really*)….except push liberal welfare state mentality. Empowerment doesn’t equate to liberal social programs people. Empowerment isn’t another man having more power over you. Empowerment is being ABLE to do something for oneself. DO something; do something local in your community. Refuse the handouts. Refuse the welfare state. Take the power back into your own hands and make your neighbors strong.

With all the controversy around Bush’s waste and Obama’s programs (more waste) it’s a brilliant time for us conservatives - no, not really neo-cons (though I don’t even know who they are - just they’re not me).

More to come…..

Warning to anyone considering purchasing from shopnbc.com, much of their business is redirected through a company called MyAtMarkets - via a rebranded site called AT Auctions. It’s completely not clear that you’ve been redirected to another company as the domain and feel of the site leads customers to believe one is still shoping with shopnbc.com. If you purchase anything from these folks, the warranty will actually cost you excessively, with fees to process, assess, handle and ship your product back to you. Their defective products once sold to you are only under warranty if you pay. I would never recommend neither of these companys; shopnbc claims they’re not responsible since they are not the *actual* company who sold the item. They just rebrand and present the other company as themself. The MyAtMarkets say, “pay or don’t we don’t care….” They have your money….so be warned.

SCAMMERS.

Well, planning our wedding should be *fun*, shouldn’t it? Hell if I know…doesn’t matter; I think eloping in Vegas is a sensible option - and I’m not even within spitting distance of the date. So, what’s going on with me…well, I’m thinking I’m going to do the music for the wedding reception myself. Sure, yeah yeah, I need to save a couple bucks where I can - but I also am figuring it’s not like the most crucial role. It’s not like skipping over the pastor. It’s not like having MickeyD’s for food, innit?

So, with a little planning and ingenuity I figure I can create some play lists for the various aspects of the reception - and then just teach a couple of the relatives how to add songs to a play list. I’m going to buy a shite load of music (gotta love soundike).

Seriously, how can it go wrong? A myriad of ways I imagine.

So, my little plan is basically to build a library of top dance hits and then just collect a bunch of the songs from the lists…..I’ve already got some great swing and early Jazz that’ll be really fun as well…..I mean, when I crank up Pantera and D.R.I no one is going to be dancing anyhow….so I really only need a few filler songs until the bride passes out and the in-laws bore of me!

Ok, ok, ok - all joking aside. No Pantera or D.R.I. - I mean, how can I explain a song called “I’d rather be sleeping” is just a joke? So back to the task at hand. Collecitng a list of great (and fun) dance songs…..

So where am I going to get the top lists from? Well….that remains to be seen.

There’s a couple WTF’s in this news article. First, who names their kids like this moron? I’ve seen some dozzies (think Frank Zappa and others) where people forget their kids gotta live with their names for the rest of their lives. Okay, so it’s their right as a parent to name their kids whatever they want; which takes precedence of whatever I might feel about their choice of names. That said, I’m even more WTF’ing over the fact the state can take children from a family, and provide no reason - when there’s no case for abuse. See this story on yahoo for the full details. With poor children getting their asses blown off in war zones in the middle east, is one’s unorthodox political views really that much of an issue? I’m really tiring of the holier then thou’s out there…..

Yahoo, why not report on the atrocities to the children all over who are being killed by corporatocracy and facked US policies.

No matter what anyone thinks about the election results, there’s one great thing to celebrate. The end of Bush’s failed regime. I hope Obama rises to the occasion. Let’s see if he’s sold his soul to get where he’s at or if he truly is there for America and Americans. I have hope…..only time will tell. We can likely rest assured that he’s not sold his soul to the same people Bush had……

Cheers Obama!

A windowglass
you on the far side,
and my own face
semi-reflected there
where light and surface share.
This is how we slide
one into another;
this superposition of faces.
The connection of lovers
is a union of graces
as in prayer.
The eye that frees itself.
There
is only one face in the glass.

I’m feeling annoyed….maybe I need to make some t-shirts.

“Jesus built my hotrod…..now he needs gas for it.”

“Oil is a divine right.”

“Jesus wants us to get the oil.”

Course, they’re no good without some good bansky-esque imagery to go with them…..
Maybe it was my visit to the Tate this afternoon and the fear of the forth coming elections and what is in store.

Bollocks!

If you’re one to dole out some cash to help others in need over the holiday season, consider giving to these 3 blokes sitting in prison. The West Memphis Three have been sitting in prison for ~15 years for crimes they did not commit, one on death row. I’ve been watching the progress of their case for years now, hoping to see some justice for these 3 guys. Thankfully new evidence will finally exonerate them. I originally learned of their case from an HBO movie, Paradise Lost. Unfortunately I wasn’t surprised at the ignorance which convicted these poor fellas.; it’s rampant - not not limited to just America. Over the years, there has been lots of support for freeing these guys by musicians, doing benefit concerts and contributing to their legal fund. If you’re in the giving spirit this holiday season, this is a good cause to consider. Drop them a 20 or 50 spot via pay pal for LDavis11@hotmail.com or you can send them a check here:

This case is yet another shining example why the rest of the US needs to step up and stop executing people. Way to go `Jersey!
