It turns out I was wrong about the annual day of snow, as we had some proper snow today complete with snowballs and a snowman. Only the chickens failed to get into the spirit of things, refusing to come out of their house.
If the image looks odd, it’s a result of me inexpertly playing with multiple exposures to create an HDR image using qtpfsgui.
Phil Wilson’s Venus cache browser, aka wxVenus, shown here running on XP after a bit of tweaking. Specifically, in CacheMunger.py, s/planet_http_status/http_status/. The only other step necessary to get it to run is to set VENUS_DIR, CACHE_DIR and SOURCE_DIR appropriately at the top of MainFrame.py.
Appropriately, the screenshot is showing the cache of Sam’s post which interrupted my previous thought process by informing me about wxVenus via XMPP. Back to work…

A bonnet. Or a hood, if you speak the U.S. dialect. Interestingly, both are things you might put on your head. I wonder if the French open up the beret to check the oil. They don’t, I’m only joking, they open le capot, which isn’t anything you’d put on your head in any language I don’t think. On the other hand, a capote is a cloak with a hood, and I definitely remember seeing the capote anglaise worn as headgear during my schooldays.
