Allergology :: Allergens Allergies Allergologically Allergic. A doctor and a book he wrote and a database that is essentially the content of the book, with a search function. Often, you don't need much more than that when you want to check if, for example, the relevant fruit is known to trigger allergies or is rather unlikely.

Issue 438 - pyglet - pyglet 1.1.3 fails on Snow Leopard. Oh man, this is really annoying. Pyglet is used by Sympy to output mathematical expressions. Unfortunately, Pyglet uses Carbon on OSX - and that is only 32-bit. And all my attempts to force something to 32-bit were in vain - actually, this can be done via environment variable or alternatively with the arch tool, but for some reason (probably due to internal indirect program calls) this is not done in Python as documented. Annoying, because Sympy has been on the list of things to try out for a while (not just since the QT console).
Innovations in iPython. Very interesting things happening with iPython - this is already becoming very similar to typical math environments like Maxima or Mathematica. At least if you install Sympy and such. The QT console worked for me after some tinkering and installing packages with Homebrew. However, I can't get matplotlib installed on Lion at all, something is still not working there, which is a shame - that would also be interesting with the pylab mode. Here's more about the QT console.
Art Meets Cabbage
This is the strange name of a beautiful art event in Münster, which is taking place for the eleventh time this year. Artists exhibit their works in allotment gardens, public places, and other locations right in the city. In Münster, this usually takes place in Kinderhaus. Juliana and I visited two of the allotment gardens in Kinderhaus (Heidegrund and Bergbusch) today and looked at the artworks and gardens there. I particularly liked Heidegrund, very many flowers and overall wonderfully colorful.
