Traceback (most recent call last): File "./mythingie.py", line 55, in? I muttered about this earlier today. Including finding the bug tracking the problem in pythonistan. However, finding the will not fix bug wasn't satisfying enough. It turns out you can just have urllib2 lie to the server about what HTTP version it...

A few weeks ago, and one of the things I missed from my previous company was having the entire corporate directory synced onto my phone. Its really handy as an on caller to be able to give people a call when something goes wrong, without having to dig around and find their details. Whatever intern wrote the API should h...

Comcast Lies
http://www.stillhq.com/diary/001103.html
Content here is by Michael Still mikal@stillhq.com. All opinions are my own. RSS feed of all comments. Mon, 27 Oct 2008. So we rang Comcast yet again. They said we were lying and had to pay the higher rate. I explained that calling my wife a liar was a bad plan, and they could either honour the stated rate or we'd cancel. The account is now cancelled, so you can see how that ended. Tags for this post: blog. Related posts: Free on demand from Comcast. Getting rid of cable TV? Posted at: 15:59 path: /diary.

Which has generated some interesting comments on their site. I've observed that sometimes the relay doesn't turn on, even though the arduino thinks it has done so. An example can be seen here:.

First off, the adults have decided to give Python for Kids. A go as a teaching resource. The biggest catch with this book is that its kind of expensive - at AUD $35 a copy, we can't just issue a copy to every kid in the room. That said, perhaps the kids don't each need a copy, as long as the adults are just using it as a guide for what things to cover. Feeds fo...

Terrible pong
http://www.stillhq.com/coding_club/000003.html
Content here is by Michael Still mikal@stillhq.com. All opinions are my own. RSS feed of all comments. Thu, 06 Aug 2015. The kids at coding club have decided that we should write an implementation of pong in python. I took a look at some options, and decided tkinter was the way to go. Thus, I present a pong game broken up into stages which are hopefully understandable to an 11 year old: Operation Terrible Pong. Tags for this post: coding club. Related posts: More coding club.
