I am sick and tired

... of both debian packages in different versions and Python installation crap issues.

Please dont get the wrong idea - I've come to like Python and especially Django for minor web applications but I tried (with emphasis on TRIED) to install lxml in version 2 or above on my debian linux wmware image today but I had to give up after some hours of frustration. I LOVE apt and I do think its just plain simple and lovely, BUT when there is no pre-packaged .deb file for lxml in a version 2 or above for "Etch" I just dont know what to do.. I mean - I even installed GCC and wget'ed the source package but it wouldn't compile (can't remember the error). But I had to install GCC, libxml2-dev which is not too much, since I was trying to compile the lot, but why the hell did I have to compile it in the first place? I just wanted to use a simple python library for my project!
And this lead me to my issues with python and the "site-packages" issues. When you move a python app from one location (server) to another - you actually have to move all installed libraries - and what happens if some app on the destination just happens to use another version (and needs another version) of the same library as you use?? Well - you probably have to either pack it with your app, but if it depends on some common c library you might find ourself in a tight spot, or you just have to hope if backwards compatible or you risk breaking an existing application.

Argg - I might just be way too frustrated right now - bear with me...

Hvad var det der fik Tornerose til at sove i 100 år?

Ja - man skulle tro at jeg nu vil komme ind på et godt gammeldags eventyr men ak, der er ikke meget eventyr over disse 5 årsager til at du bør undgå iPhone 3G!.

Nu er det jo ikke engang noget jeg har skrevet, men noget som "Free Software Foundation" har skrevet men de fremhæver nøjagtigt de "problemer" jeg har med Apple og iPhone.

Jeg kan godt lide den måde iPhone virker på og lige meget om man er for eller imod Apple så må man sige at de forstår sig på "design" og brugervenlighed som i grafisk brugervenlighed, men deres metoder og "vendor lockin" efterlader VIRKELIGT en del at ønske.

Jeg venter stadigt med spænding på at G1 kommer til Danmark - eller Android Dev Phone 1 bliver muligt at købe her til landet.
