Inheriting from two classes is convenient at times, but has a tendency to complicate things a bit.

I just wrote my first ever class that inherited from three classes.  I think this is borderline madness.

Pretty sure inheriting from four or more classes is what drives Skynet.  Tread carefully.

(Theoretical situation where we get pulled over)

Officer:  Is that a radar detector on the dash?

Us:  No it’s a wireless router.

Officer:  …

Should arrive in Boston sometime shortly after noon.  Stay tuned for updates!

Passafire went on first and was my favorite of the three.  Baker turned me on to them a few months back and they were the main reason we went.  His brother is really good friends with the band (get their CD, the first person on their “thank you” list is Sam Baker).  After their set they hung out at their merchandise booth and we went over and chatted with them for a while.  When Baker told them who he was they went nuts, it was funny.  I picked up their CD “Submersible” and snatched a t-shirt too.  Now I’ll have something to wear besides 311 shirts.

Supervillains went on next.  They were energetic and fun, reminded me of a reggae/ska version of Blink 182, in that if they had the cash for a giant flaming rig of the word “fuck” at their show, they would certainly do it.

Pepper was the headliner.  I had seen them a few years back in Columbus, OH when they opened for The Wailers and 311.  I really dug them back then, and they were still a lot of fun this time too but I enjoyed the uniqueness of the other two bands a bit more.

Few notable tech things going on today.  I built and submitted the new upstream version of PyYAML (3.06) to F8 and F9 today.  Look for that to land in the near future.  I also put in a CVS request to have EPEL branches for EL-4 and EL-5 added to both PyYAML and python-netaddr.  Once I get python-netaddr into EPEL I’m going to use it to implement some neat stuff in cobbler… stay tuned for that one.
