Wombat takes charge<\/a> : learning how easy it is to work with location stuff in Python, he starts work on a project that sounds a lot like the work I’ve started on locative<\/a> stuff. Looks like I need to get back to that…<\/p>\n

As FrankK reports<\/a>, Darla will record an orgasm ringtone if she gets requests on her blog<\/a> for one. Think she’ll follow through? I’m interested in finding out.<\/p>\n

Flickr stuff is close to done. I’ve got a user interface put together, using code stolen from the included file browser provided by Nokia. You can browse through, select a picture to upload, and upload it, using the given tags, security, and stored username\/password. It’s not ready for prime time yet, because I want to set up a way to do multiple uploads at once. I’d also like to be able to type in titles\/descriptions, but the limitations of the UI widgets available blocked me there. I don’t have anything that I can type t9 into with ease, so getting the data out would be a pain. Is it so much to ask for a t9 enabled appuifw.query window?<\/p>\n

Jess asked me yesterday if I’ll ever make any money hacking these things together. My answer is probably not: I don’t like the idea of charging people money for something. I’ve never even asked for donations, because I just think it’s not fair to expect people to pay me for the work I do. Despite this, if anyone wants to offer me money to do what I’m doing, I’d be glad to take it. I really need to move this stuff to a server that isn’t hosted in a house with four cats running around: they have a tendancy to pull out the ethernet cable nightly, which means downtime for everyone.<\/p>\n

I’m looking to move stuff soon, I’ve had my eyes on one of the Sagonet bargain servers<\/a> for a while. (The reason I’m going for my own box rather than a virtual box type solution is memory based: I want to run julie off a different machine than my own, and that requires me to use a hell of a lot more memory than any virtual hosting solution I’ve yet found.) The price is good, it’s just that initial extra setup fee that’s putting me off.<\/p>\n

However, every day that goes by is another day that I realize I really just need to move stuff and be done with it. Waking up every morning and having to restart my menagerie of bots is getting old. I want something stable.<\/p>\n

Is anyone looking for hosting? $10\/ a month, and I’ll do all the work to install anything you want! \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
