Reader jessejames pointed out a couple of stale links that were still sitting in the Python Babysteps Tutorial. Thanks!

Updated Python Babysteps

27 December 2008

The snow is finally melting away from the sidewalks in Seattle, which means I can emerge blinking into the daylight. The site updates are coming ever so slowly.

I finally updated the Python Babysteps Tutorial to cover Python 2.6. A quick blurb was added to go over installing ActivePython on Linux, since that's what I just did this afternoon while double-checking the code and IDLE options.

Site Cleanup

6 November 2008

Coolnamehere has been sitting idle for a while, in spite of periodic efforts on my part to spice it up with different approaches to publishing. I've got lots of ideas for how to improve the site, but as always real life gets in the way (especially the work-based version of that game). I'm just going to do little things for now, like switching the internal format from Textile to MultiMarkdown.

More Static Site Fun

6 Aug 2007

I've been experimenting with Drupal and Joomla over the last month. Both are lovely, but I feel more secure knowing that all of the site content is here at home when I need it. That means we're still with WebMake. I am doing a little bit of a try at using Ruby for key parts.

Okay, I'm a little too tired to be useful. You'll just have to take my word: things are lovely.

New screen Page

25 Jan 2007

My 35th birthday was the other day. It was very pleasant indeed: sushi and a copy of "The Ruby Way 2nd Edition" from my wife, then cake and a game of "Scene It!" from our friend. It was low-key, but that is exactly what I wanted.

I have been desperate to get some sort of new content on the site, so I added a very brief view of screen. screen has become a significant part of my toolset over the last six months. The new page is not well organized, but it does contain the few notes I have found helpful regarding screen.
