Instant Messaging with Jabber/XMPP
Earlier in the month, I did a talk at CPLUG on Instant Messaging with Jabber/XMPP.

Pyglet 1.0

Django Book this month?
Quoth The Django Book website:
The book is due to be published in December 2007 by Apress, but in the meantime you can read the “beta” book online. The final book will be posted when the print version ships.
Announced back in February 2006 originally with a March 2007 release date, pushed back to June, and now December… so we’ve been waiting for a while on this one. But Apress typically does a good job, so I’m looking forward to it.
