Once again, after the usual discussion with Cristina about
places to go on New Years Eve, we’re off to our usual haunt
where we’ve married and where we’ve been going for the last
9 or 10 years:

Thoughts of Portuguese highway traffic and drivers,
planes and tourists, etc. always put us off of more
exotic options. Plus the best Japanese restaurant in
Portugal, of course :-)

Time off for some reflections on life, the universe and
everything. Next year some changes are in due for me, least
of which is finally becoming an (40 year old) adult :-)
I wish everyone a great 2008. And, regarding wishes and
new years resolutions, the habitual music/lyrics quotes:
“Don’t push too far
Your Dreams are china in your hand
Don’t wish too hard
Because they may come true
And you can’t help them
You don’t know what you might
Have set upon yourself
China in your hand”
T’Pau – Bridge of Spies, China in Your Hand
“Have you ever made a wish
And held your breath for days
And when you get that wish
You just can’t seem to wish it away
Well chances are, it might come true
Have you ever found yourself
In a place you don’t belong
And someone says, “Please Wait”
And you wanna say, “How Long?”
Chances are, it just might come true”
Saga – Generation 13, Chances Are #1

One disk is offline, the machine is offline, the server is offline and the owner
will be offline probably up until the start of 2008. See you next year.

your app on our servers.”

And, in a heroic session of coding (the last couple of
hours really; yes, it took me that long, goddam regular
expressions…) the geezer comes up with the Python
version of the Alphanum algorithm…

PS – Yes, I later found the solution below but I had fun meanwhile…
def safeint(x):
try:
return int(x)
except ValueError:
return x
data.sort(key=lambda x: map(safeint, re.findall(“\d+|\D+”, x)))
