Going to OOoCon 2004
God answers prayer. Going to OOoCon 2004
despite it initially seeming unlikely.
Brief summary of information I gathered in the process of booking lots of different flights over a few days:
The German Embassy / Consulate in Cape Town has moved. Their new address details are as follows:
British Airways Executive Club miles: You can buy airmiles for yourself, or others. They cost $28 (USD) each, plus a $25 transaction fee. If you buy for others, you can buy for up to three people at once but only pay a single transaction fee. But you can't include yourself in the list of recipients! So to buy for me and Danielle, I had to login as my dad and purchase the miles for us in his name...
pyfly: I started working on a Python script to do screenscraping of airline's reservation systems. So far only implemented flysaa but it would be nice to do others. Basically you can specify a date range and see all the flights in the given range and their prices, much easier than doing it manually.

Classic Ballmer Quote
Steve Ballmer explains:
Microsoft's platforms offer better interoperability with the company's other technology, such as .NET, reducing the total cost of ownership of Windows compared with Linux
Aha! It works better with their own stuff! That's what interoperability means, doesn't it?
