It seems you overlooked http://pypi.python.org/pypi... ;)

That's correct - it shows up on the bundle keys page under a title "Your DRM Free Games" with download links for windows, mac and linux.

Boo-urns for no international shipping :(

And an aside, I agree with the other person who suggested a QR code on each page. Would have been pretty nifty.

Seems that you're bad at math too, since that's a 44% discount :D

Re: Hamster applet – probably the best time tracking application

Ah, right - I see what you're saying. It'd be a pretty fundamental change but I've thought the same sometimes (on days when I've switched contexts too much too ;)

Now I don't worry about it too much if I have a huge list of tasks per day, and just use the overview page to look at my summary per category.

Thanks, a good summary -- and I agree that hamster seems to be the best option.

The one feature I miss is being able to sync my time between two machines (even if I only worked on a single one, having it backed up to some offsite repository would be nice).

Pausing an app and continuing it pretty easy in hamster. Just stop the task, then double click it when you start again!

Re: Two simple techniques to make your Django projects ultra portable

Note, you're still hard coding the '/' in your post. That's where you should be using os.path.join

ROOT_DIR = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__)) uses join incorrectly. The point of os.path.join is to join path components in a generic way that works across operating systems: Here's what you should use:

PROJECT_ROOT = os.path.dirname(__file__) MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, 'media')

And a tip for your urls.py for nicely serving static files in development mode:
# Static media import sys if 'runserver' in sys.argv: ----from django.conf import settings ----urlpatterns += patterns('django.views.static', --------(r'^%s(?P<path>.*)' % settings.MEDIA_URL[1:], 'serve', {'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT}), ----)

Yep, there are plenty of uses.

My most common one is clients wanting to put something up but not live, and me not wanting to mess around with apache auth for specific areas :P

Alternatively, there's something like django-lock (which I just uploaded - I've been meaning to do it for a while): http://code.google.com/p/dj...
