Attended Northwest Python Day 2010
Attended the thoroughly enjoyable Northwest Python Day 2010 yesterday, put on by the Seattle Python Interest Group.
This was my second conference; I attended last year's event. Yesterday's education was a lot easier to handle than a year ago, largely due to not having a very uncomfortable cold, and also from the ability to stretch my legs - we maxed out a room at the UW last year, yesterday we had plenty of room at Seattle Central Community College.
In addition to the talk notes listed here, my list of interesting URLs and notes follows.
Lightning talks
Things to investigate
Tokyo cabinet, mentioned in A brief history of BitBacker as an alternative to sqlite

Many thanks to the volunteers and SCCC for putting this on.
