Today I filed a bug, probably the most trivial bug of the time, about the use of Unicode quotations marks and apostrophes in the Online Help pages

It is just indistinguishable: ‘ and ’, in some type fonts, especially size is small. But with the help of Unicode convertor I was able to tell the difference: ‘ is ASCII 0×27, the Apostrophe and ’ is Unicode U+2018, the Right Quotation Mark.

However 0×27 is often overloaded with various meanings (since it is on your keyboard…) such as prime, single quote, apostrophe… So if Unicode is used, it is best to use the Unicode version (the curly ones) in your application/pages.

See Markus Kuhn’s special page for more information.

The Unicode and ISO 10646 standards define the following characters:

U+0022	QUOTATION MARK		neutral (vertical), used as opening or closing quotation mark; preferred characters in English for paired quotation marks are U+201C and U+201D
U+0027	APOSTROPHE		neutral (vertical) glyph having mixed usage; preferred character for apostrophe is U+2019; preferred characters in English for paired quotation marks are U+2018 and U+2019
U+0060	GRAVE ACCENT
U+00B4	ACUTE ACCENT
U+2018	LEFT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK
U+2019	RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK		this is the preferred character to use for apostrophe
U+201C	LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK
U+201D	RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

1. Throw away.
   Be careful! You shouldn’t just throw it into your bin. My suggestion is to put it into “electronics waste” and recycle. Not sure if there is recycle facility for SIM cards but group them as “electronics waste” will be a good starting point.
2. Make earrings.

>> NameError: name ‘exit’ is not defined

Very weird. So I changed that line from exit() to sys.exit() and recomplied using py2exe, everything works perfectly now.

So what is the difference between sys.exit() and exit()?

sys.exit() is included in the sys module. This is implemented by raising the SystemExit exception, so cleanup actions specified by finally clauses of try statements are honored, and it is possible to intercept the exit attempt at an outer level. http://docs.python.org/library/sys.html#sys.exit

exit() is included in the he site module (which is imported automatically during startup [<- that is why you don't need to import anything!], except if the -S command-line option is given). They are useful for the interactive interpreter shell and should not be used in programs. http://docs.python.org/library/constants.html#exit

So, as a general rule, we should use sys.exit() in our scripts, instead of just exit().

Vendors specify capacities (of hard drives for example) using GB/MB which results in a higher value compared to GiB/MiB. However, Windows (and possibly other OSes) will usually only tell you the GiB/MiB value, despite the fact that it writes GB/MB as unit behind the value

The true summit is a small point that can only fit a few people and is covered in prayer flags. As I took my final steps to the top, tears of joy streamed down my face as the entire journey flashed through my mind. At that very moment I was physically higher than any person on earth. I sat down and made the following radio call: “Calling all Mountain Guru camps, this is Brian checking in from the summit of Mount Everest!” A roar of excitement and congratulations came across from all camps.

This was Pre-Sales Engineer Brian Dickinson’s description of his successful May 15 summit of Mount Everest—the fourth leg of his “Seven Summits” goal to climb the highest mountain on each of the seven continents. Fewer than 300 people in the world have done so.

Well, the interesting point is what’s in his backpack….. tons of Cisco gears… must be heavy to carray a Cisco ISR router to mount Everest :P… and Cius is pretty heavy too with dreadful battery performance… see below:

Cisco at Altitude

Cisco technology accompanied Dickinson throughout his high-altitude journey.

• He brought an ISR 819 Router with 3G, the Cius Business Tablet, Cisco Virtual Office, WebEx, and a 3502e wireless access point. He used a Goal0 solar power generator.
• As well as bringing toys, he also configured 3G connectivity for the Early Childhood Development Center, which provides food and shelter for children with imprisoned parents. Connecting with “Summit for Science,” a science lesson via Cisco WebEx and TelePresence with children in Singapore; San Jose; Hong Kong; Bellevue, Washington; and Houston, Texas he answered questions from the children such as, “Where is Mount Everest?” “How tall is it?”  “What do you eat?” and “Why are you doing this?”
• At Everest Basecamp, Dickinson discovered that he could access NCELL 3G edge coverage from the 3G tower at nearby village if it was sunny and if he hiked to a ridge 30 minutes out of base camp, and climbed a large boulder—a great effort at altitude—but one he made to upload blog entries, add images to Facebook, Twitter, email and to conduct two WebEx events, including dial-in-only to an INX (Cisco partner) WebEx feed to answer questions and a Together at WebEx interview. During the latter, Dickinson described life at Everest Basecamp and revealed the challenges and preparations for his summit attempt. The session proved that if one could join a WebEx session from Mount Everest, one could join from anywhere in the world. (Note: Video coverage starts halfway through the session.)

Why no Cisco banner on the summit? Dickinson took a self-portrait but couldn’t take any sponsor banner pictures (Cisco, INX, VMware, and EMC) because he summited alone and his frozen equipment prevented him from building a modified tripod.
