    Every year I make myself some “abstract” goals regarding some achievements I should manage to reach. However, each year there are always one or two goals which is left behind. What I would especially highlight this year is to finish some of my software projects which has just been left in the mid-air.

    • A simple webpage for my topdomain (fellinghaug.com)
    • My very simple, yet (hopefully) powerfull Python search engine (codename “Wallace”)
    • Contribute more to the open-source community (register myself as a python developer, solve bugs and translate projects on launchpad.net)

    Let’s now get ahead of ourselves here, and just stop the list there. Adding more would simply make it overwhelming and unrealistic. If I surprise myself in terms of the timeframe (a year) for these goals, then I would allow myself to add more stuff on this list.

    I would point to fellow developers out there to also make yourselves goal lists, as these lists tend to improve the developers efficiency. It certainly feels so in my case.

    Hi everyone!

    Today I have a pleasant surprise! “Python v3.0″ has reached its final milestone, and has therefore been released into the wild. This is very interesting, as this new version facilitates some neat features. Instead of listing them here, I would recommend you read the “What’s In Python 3.0“.

    One issue they haven’t been able to solve is the GIL (Global Interpreter Lock). I sincerly hope this will be solved in time, as it somewhat constraints the usage of Python in high performance computing with threads.
