Amazon delivered “Expert Python Programming” and “CherryPy Essentials” today. Once they are read reviews will be written.
I am loving CherryPy. I just ported my star tracker to it in about 2 hours. Maybe I will put it up somewhere. Or just bring it back at work.
Is it wrong to be becoming increasingly proud of my .emacs file? It is still very small, but I love it. Maybe it has something with slowly learning some lisp. Now I have to find a good way to sync it between work and home.
There are a couple of options on to run CherryPy behind Apache. I have chosen to go for mod_python as the mod_rewrite runs the CherryPy server at the same time (from what I can tell) and it seems to be a little silly to run two servers at once.
It all comes down to the Apache config (which goes in /usr/local/etc/apache22/Includes/cherrypy.conf on my laptop) once you have mod_python installed and in your base Apache config

So I am starting a new project with a friend, we have been meaning to do something for a while, but we have never got round to it.
There is a problem of course and that is we really don’t know what we are creating, we have a few ideas (even some code) but no real direction. Because of this we have spent a lot of time discussing how do we show value in a project which does not yet have a name. We at least know how much we have spent on it so far. 57 pounds. Which consists of: two lunches, coffees and beer.
I recently got a file from a main frame with some crazy use of line feeds and carriage return, thanks to this blog it became really easy. It comes down to replace Carriage Return (if by itself will be shown as a ^M) for Line Feed (which is the same as a ^J). The problem is getting emacs to replace one non-printable character for another. As it turns out C-q lets you type in a linefeed (C-j) as a quoted character. The final steps were:
After a while of lurking around Stack overflow I have taken the plunge and answered a question or two. I can see why people can be addicted to it. Much more fun than checking my email :)
