Do you want to volunteer at the NE Woodcarver annual show on Oct 17 & 18? My friend Karen was planning to do it, but found out she can't make it, so she is looking for a substitute. Pizza and minimal compensation provided. So if for any reason you have always been curious to see the inner workings behind the scenes at the NE Woodcarvers, let me

If anyone in the Boston area has an excess of fake plants or fake flowers, I would be willing to take them off your hands.

The general idea is to make some kind of script/program that can take as input a set of X,Y data, and output a series of jpgs/pictures.

I have an email application that generates a big file of all the emails ever received by each person. I am using python's email.Parser module to read the big file and process each message later for logging purposes. All emails generated via the web email application are multi-part, and when I parse the big file, it turns the first email into a ( Read more... )
