Twisted Show 3, Raffi Krikorian of Synthesis Studios

By the way, if you haven't listened to it yet, I recommend checking out the third episode of the Twisted Show, which is an interview of Raffi Krikorian of Synthesis Studios. I share space with Divmod in that back room :-)

by the way, if you have trouble with noise from the audio player at archive.org, try the .mp3 or .ogg version; they sound fine.

Planet Interactive Fiction

I just set up a Planet site for the community of Interactive Fiction bloggers. It's at http://planet-if.com/ and it's called Planet IF.

Don't know what Interactive Fiction is? Emily Short explains it succinctly.

I'm not really a regular in the IF community, but I am a long-time reader and wanna-be author of IF. I want to see the medium grow in popularity and so I'll do what I can to help it out. So there you have it.

Twisted 8.1.0 prerelease 2

Hey all, I've put out the second prerelease of Twisted 8.1.0. This release includes a number of bug fixes, including for some unfortunate regressions in 8.0.1, as well as a few features.

• Trial's performance was improved
• Fixed a bug where Failures wouldn't be constructible involving Pyrex
• Fixed a couple of reactor re-entrancy bugs introduced
• Fixed the conch.insults bug where gnome-terminal wouldn't scroll when output reached the bottom of the screen.

And a bunch of other miscellaneous fixes. Please download this prerelease and give it a try with your applications.
