Boeing in Flight

Boeing in Flight 05/18/2004 01:17 AM
It's not "What Hath God Wrought," but it's historic nonetheless: Connexion by Boeing launched its first commercial flight today, with flight 452 on Lufthansa flying from Munich to Los Angeles. The press release and photo were filed (also a first) from the flight at 35,000 feet. Connexion's commercial launch of a single plane is significant, but Lufthansa won't finish unwiring its 80 planes in its long-haul fleet until the end of 2006. In fact, it's possible that fewer than a dozen planes out of a few hundred committed will be ready to go this year. (Photo shows a German passenger at right, and Boeing VP David Friedman at left.)...

Sneaky look at Boeing Surplus

Sneaky look at Boeing Surplus 09/12/2004 05:30 AM
Cory Doctorow: Tom sez, "I took some photos at Boeing Surplus today. It's a store that Boeing operates in Kent, Washington, about twenty minutes south of Seattle. They sell all sorts of weird and strange stuff, from gear used in the construction of jet liners to office chairs to old employee nameplates. Photos and cameras are strictly prohibited, so I was lucky to make it out with these photos that give a small sense of the place." Link (Thanks, Tom!)

Boeing Moves Towards VOIP in the Air

Boeing Moves Towards VOIP in the Air 12/02/2003 12:35 AM
As Connexion by Boeing moves closer to its big 2004 rollout on many airlines, voice over IP (VoIP) looks more likely, too: Connexion has chosen its rugged, in the air AP vendor, and is talking vaguely about how VoIP might emerge on planes. They might also deploy a low-power cellular transmitter that would use the satellite link for backhaul. The first-generation AP on planes, by the way, is 802.11b only -- probably due to regulatory certification issues. The next-generation system will be a/b/g....

As an aviation buff, I was interested to see Steve Rubel mention a new blog from Boeing. When I clicked thru to the 777-200LR Flight Test Journal, I found myself sucked into some excellent reading about the 777-200 early morning flight testing at Edwards Air Force Base. How could I really be expected to resist that? Subscribed....

Connexion by Boeing Racks Up Customers 11/12/2003 02:58 PM
Singapore Airlines yesterday, today it's Japan Airlines: JAL said it will install Boeing's onboard Internet access service on 68 of its long-haul planes. Installations begin in 2004. It will be interesting to watch the wars for Internet connectivity in the air. Frankly, I'm a bit surprised that Seattle-based Tenzing is still around, mostly because it's got to be tough to go head to head with Boeing. Plus the airlines are notorious for being touchy about deploying new technology on board. We'll see…...

Compile everything with a one-liner

Compile everything with a one-liner 07/01/2004 01:42 PM

The other day, we noticed that the .py files in our main mod_python application at work did not have corresponding compiled .pyc files. mod_python runs as the unprivileged apache user, which on our server doesn't have the required permissions to write the compiled .pyc files in to the directories in which our code lives.

A bit of digging came up with the co mpileall module, which provides functions for byte-compiling Python files in bulk. We invoked it using the following shell one-liner, executed at the upper most directory of our code tree:

python2.3 -c "import compileall;
compileall.compile_dir('.')"

Executed as root, the result was a full set of .pyc bytecode files.

Actually it's recently opened in a northern area of Tehran and Ive heard that it's quite popular among Tehranian bloggers. It's called Cafe Blog and based on the website, they held some basic technical workshops for their members. There are some photos from their opening on their website."

Why Go to the Office, When You Can Wi-Fi
at Local Café? 06/17/2005 07:16 PM
Ask any solo entrepreneur (a.k.a. Solopreneur) if they would rather Wi-Fi at a local café or work from home in isolation. The answer would most likely be Yes. Dawn Nichol is founder and chief visionary of The Solopreneur Zone located in Grass Valley, CA where she frequents her local coffee shops to conduct business on her laptop. She could work from home without any personal interaction and loads of laundry to do, but the buzz of the local coffee shop, the interesting people she meets and of course, high-speed internet are the real deal breakers for Dawn.
