Thanks for this. Saved me a lot of work I was about to get into.

I think the poem would have been a lot prettier in a shade of blue. I know this because I have seen poems before and know that one poem was better in blue.

Cheap to produce, maybe. I bet it could sell for more than those glasses, though maybe with a very high volume.

Yeah, designed myself. It’s actually corrugated cardboard. I intend to use wood later but this was just a prototype. I could etsy it but it’s another cheap product that requires shipping; if I’m going to ship products to people they’re going to be expensive.

Did you design that yourself as well? I haven’t kept up with all you’ve been working on lately but that might be worth trying to put on Etsy.

What kind of wood is that? It looks kindof thick. Also I don’t really notice burn marks.

The code must flow.

The good thing about vim is that MOST of what you do with it day-to-day is pure muscle memory. The bad thing about vim… there is no bad thing about vim.
Generally you have to learn emacs or vim. I started with emacs, but to do basic commands required what I felt to be unnatural contortions of the hands. Vi is more ergonomic, at least for me.
You don’t need to know 100% of what’s available in Vi, just enough to use it for your own purposes.

Comment on Getting Data From a Bound but Unvalidated Form by tsaylor

The data is bound when you instantiate the form with a dictionary in the first parameter. At that point the data can be found in form.data, and validating moves it to form.cleaned_data.

I guess my question is. How do you have bound data that’s not validated? I thought is_valid() is what bound it?

If you had such a car, and you put that scripting interface on it. That bucket of awesome would be called the Emacs.
