The MIT musuem is so-so

For $7.50 the MIT museum is overpriced for what it is, unless you have kids dying to play with robots. I went mooching round the museum and enjoyed a handful of exhibits.

I most enjoyed the holography exhibition. One of the more impressive ones is a life size one of a singer. I also enjoyed the movie holograms - holograms that change as you move around them.

The mechanical sculptures are a bust. The only one I liked was a miniature chair that assembled and disassembled periodically.

I enjoyed looking at some of the old computer stuff - especially magnetic core memories. A lot of the 'robot artifacts' are indulgent self homages to things that MIT professors built and are not very impressive.

I liked the Harold Edgerton (high speed photography) exhibit.

Starting at 2:00pm there was an interactive robot thing that I didn't go to. Little kids were standing in line patiently and they were taken in in batches and had to wait 15min per batch. I didn't think it wold be appropriate to crash.

A note on Python's __exit__() and errors

Python's context managers are a very neat way of handling code that needs a teardown once you are done. Python objects have do have a destructor method ( __del__ ) called right before the last instance of the object is about to be destroyed. You can do a teardown there. However there is a lot of fine print to the __del__ method. A cleaner way of doing tear-downs is through Python's context manager , manifested as the with keyword. class CrushMe: def __init__(self): self.f = open('test.txt', 'w') def foo(self, a, b): self.f.write(str(a - b)) def __enter__(self): return self def __exit__(self, exc_type, exc_val, exc_tb): self.f.close() return True with CrushMe() as c: c.foo(2, 3) One thing that is important, and that got me just now, is error handling. I made the mistake of ignoring all those 'junk' arguments ( exc_type, exc_val, exc_tb ). I just skimmed the docs and what popped out is that you need to return True or

Using adminer on Mac OS X

adminer is a nice php based sqlite manager. I prefer the firefox plugin "sqlite manager" but it currently has a strange issue with FF5 that basically makes it unworkable, so I was looking for an alternative to tide me over. I really don't want apache running all the time on my computer and don't want people browsing to my computer, so what I needed to do was: Download the adminer php script into /Library/WebServer/Documents/ Change /etc/apache2/httpd.conf to allow running of php scripts (uncomment the line that begins: LoadModule php5_module Start the apache server: sudo apachectl -k start Operate the script by going to localhost Stop the server: sudo apachectl -k stop
