We now have four, count them, four blogs linked to the monogram.org main page. We have it set up so anyone who wants a blog can have their own wordpress installation that they can manage. Then all of their posts will be aggregated on the main monogram.org blog. Basically the monogram.org blog just points back to your personal blog for any comments people leave. Any of you long-time monogramers who would like to have a blog back, let me know.
I just joined PaperBackSwap and already have a few books that have just been collecting dust that others want. I am getting a few myself. What a great way to create an economy where the currency is books.
Just testing imified to see how easy it is to IM blog entries to the blog. Woot…it works.
Here is a bit of code I put together using libgmail and python to download the attachments of all emails with a given label in my gmail account. It is pretty simple and the libgmail library can enable you to do the same thing for emails in a certain folder, or emails as the result of a certain search term. The code isn’t incredibly robust, but it gets the job done.
I call mine getatt and it run it like this:
getatt mylabel
It then drops each attachment out as a separate file in the current directory. I use it for grading I have to do for an undergraduate class where I am getting hundreds of emails a week with attachments I have to grade.
Python Code: getatt
This is a pretty cool image I came across at the MODIS Rapid Response site with a snowstorm plowing through Chicago and the associated Lake effect snow fallout in Michigan and northern Indiana. This is the day after the system passed through and the white areas are mostly what was left behind. Pretty cool.
Here is an interesting renewable energy tower idea. It looks interesting.
Great teaching technique where the professor states at the beginning of the semester that he will include a lie in every lecture of the semester. This causes the students to scrutinize and investigate every lecture (and pay attention) in hopes of being the first to catch the lie. Great way to focus attention and develop analytical skills.
Testing google docs. I am just testing to see if google docs will work well for adding posts to the blog….
Let us see…shall we?
