Recursion in Django with Treebeard, templates, and python generator

To spare you all the reams of source code, I'll just point you to my latest geek addition: Template recursion in Django with Treebeard , in which I solve one of the great conundrums of Django: how to draw stuff recursively. Django templates just don't like recursion, and I do. I'm slowly but surely learning how to express myself in Django. Stuff like this is deep geek head-first no-nonsense, ...

Margaritaville without the alcohol, and with added stress

I took today off to hang out with Kouryou-chan. She'd actually rather spend it outdoors with her friends, and more power to her for making that decision, but given all the free time I've had you'd think I'd actually get something done. No, I spent it reading, mostly Banks' Matter . I guess that's not wasting the day away, but there's a long list of things I plan to do someday. Why not now? ...

Why Grammar Matters As I was walking to the grocery store the other day, I passed by this sign embedded in the yard of the Shell gas station. The issue at hand is a property tax levy to pay for a new fire station and other thing; the current fire station is so old it's no longer up to code and will collapse in the event of an earthquake. Personally, I'm for the measure. This sign does...

Fun with programming...

Okay, you have to be a heavy-duty Babylon 5 fan to understand the amusement value, but I realized the other day that my pet program Thinksaber was the perfect set-up for another silly toy. It'll be a few days yet, but I now have the basic framework for Sounds From The Spoofarm . Right now all it does is simulate a spoofarm during breeding season, and not terribly well (it sounds too busy ...

Sunday: Carousels and Singing Queers

So, in the holiday spirit, Omaha and I took Kouryou-chan up to Westlake Center to ride the Christmas Carousel. The vast bricklain quadrangle was Cold, wet, and dark-- just the way Seattlites like it-- but a brass band played proudly in one corner as we waited in line. After the ride we went into Westlake, where I snapped the photo in the previous entry. We went up to the food ...

Score on the Parking and the Coffee!

COMMENT Once or twice a week I have to drive into the office. There are two parking lots in the neighborhood near my office; one has $6 all-day slots but only 30 spaces, the other has $8 all-day slots but over a hundred spaces. There are also 20 free spaces along one street where Seattle hasn't yet put up one of those evil signs and the roboattendant machine. I sometimes get the $6 ...

A mixed bag day.

Today I worked with dangerous chemicals, performed alchemy, conducted a transplantation, and impressed a little girl. I have decided that daylight savings time is misnamed. It should be called "extending morning darkness time," not that I object to holding off the dawn as long as possible. It was still too early to wake up after last night. Breakfast was pancakes, home-made, with 1/4 khamut ...
