As the great John Lennon said, there will be a time when the Beatles are more famous than Christianity. I don't know if that's true (that said Elvis possibly might be even more famous)... but the Beatles are definitely more popular :)

I was having a huge headache with the django shell, or maybe that was the flu (4 days and counting, whoever took my immune system i want it back....) but either way Apple has released a fix that makes it work again (and its now been updated, Yippeeee!
The problem was no tab-completion in the ipython shell for django, and that is a terrible headache for anyone used to this wonderful feature. The fix involves a couple of lines added to your ~/.ipython/ipy_usr_conf.py file.
Add these 2 lines to the end of the main method (its not totally clear on the site with the fix i'm sad to say).
import readline
readline.parse_and_bind ("bind ^I rl_complete")
(If you don't know how to do this, you shouldn't really be editing these files)
Any problems, leave a comment...(but please direct credit to the discoverer of the fix)
Happy International Talk Like a Pirate Day!

For those of you who don't know about the situation of women in Saudi Arabia, shame on you for being ignorant. For those of you who do, congratulations on being a passable attempt of a world citizen. For those women in Saudi Arabia, don't take no for an answer, its time to take to the open road, they don't have enough police to stop all of you at once!

According to Think Secret, the iPhone is diverting resources from Leopard, meaning that it will probably be October when Leopard is finally released. LINK
I'm expecting this isn't the real reason, and in fact its either that there are some bugs they want to work out before release, or they are planning something new and shiny that they don't want to tell us about yet.
One thing that is slightly annoying was i was planning to get a macbook (pro) in the next couple of months and was slightly waiting for Leopard. Given that many people may be in the same situation, Apple might be wise to offer free/discounted upgrades to any mac bought after May (implied/speculated release date). However of course this was speculation so Apple doesn't really need to do anything.
Either way, hope Leopard has something good. Its strange i thought dashboard was neat, and spotlight was a bit meh when i bought it, but now i rarely use dashboard, but couldn't live without spotlight.
