The Django admin site is one of the best features of Django. It really lets you just get on with building your app, without having to worry too much about how you'll administer your site.
The defaults are generally pretty good, but it's often the case that you'll want to …
I've been writing an application for my other half in recent months to help her organise observations of the children in her class. I've actually written two versions of the app. The first was dubbed "Observertron" and in retrospect was overly complex. After a bit of thought I was able …
I've updated the relevant wxPython wiki page with this info, but thought i'd record it here for posterity too.
I'm currently playing around with writing a wxPython app. It's at the point where I'm starting to package it into executables to be run without needing Python installed.

Much like Writeroom and Duncan's JDarkroom (both of which are more fully featured) it lets you edit text files in "distraction-free" fullscreen. Ideal for creative writing …
So far for the 5K App I've written two example apps - one in Java and one in Javascript. This is partly so that I can figure out how the rules for the competition will need to work. In a lot of 4K competitions a single language is chosen, so things …
So a while back I implemented a remember me feature for chrss. I said I'd release the code for it and am finally now getting round to it.
Please note that this kind of "remember me" functionality can represent a potentially security hole. It makes sense for some sites where …
