What is this?
Hi, my name is Tom Lazar and I'm a Plone and Zope developer based in Berlin, Germany and this is my personal and professional (no big difference, really...) website.
 

Day Two

Filed Under:

The Show continues...

  • drinking beer with fellow-plonistas is all very well and probably equally important compared to the talks and tutorials but perhaps tonight I'll manage not to stay up drinking until 4 a.m. and instead actually manage to attend the opening note at nine... Also, a Gin & Tonic does not "refresh you" after having too many beers, no matter what Gogo claims ;-)

  • ATCT have become ridiculously rich and comfortable. Martin Aspeli's tutorial had me positively drooling! In case you're a Plone Developer/User and haven't seen his presentation - I do realize, that some of the readers of this blog are actually not at the conference ;-) you owe it to yourself to check out his RichDocument tutorial at plone.org which he based his talk on. The following bullets pertain to that:

  • use FTI to register layouts for a content type.

  • INonStructuralFolder for making a folderish object that otherwise doesn't behave like a folder!

  • RichDocument's attachments and images are workflowless and thus have the security restrictions of the container (i.e. the document) applied.

  • folder.getFolderListing() now returns brains not objects by default

  • Completely unrelated to that: Safari has turned into a big stinking pile of excrement ever since Tiger. I've made a clean install of Mac OS X 10.4.2 on Saturday and ever since it has crashed six or seven times - and of course just as I had downloaded 80% of the XCode Developer Tools and having opened twenty-something tabs from NetNewsWire...

Another thing you will love about Opera ;)

"…it has crashed six or seven times - and of course just as I had downloaded 80% of the XCode Developer Tools and having opened twenty-something tabs from NetNewsWire..."

When Opera crashes (rare as it is, it happens now and then), it remembers what tabs you had open.

whoha! Using Opera as a *browser* ?!

now there's a novel concept ;) but indeed, state persistence is really important. Perhaps you need to inform John Siracusa of this feature of Opera: he's using NetNewsWires browser for the reason of state persistence - you'll probably find his article "The State of Mac web browsing" [1] interesting.

Also, you can see, that we really need some sort of minimal markup abilities inside comments on plone ;-)
