Rendering text as an image using a django template tag

This templatetag allows you to use pil (python image library) to render out text in a custom font and colour. I recently created this template tag for a project I am working on, I haven't seen anything similar so I thought I would share it.

Cookie Problem in Django admin

Cookie Problem in Django admin

I recently setup a new Server, I was having trouble logging into the django admin. It kept telling me I didn't have cookies enabled. The problem, it turns out, was a conflict between php5 and mod_python.

Python S60 - Time-lapse Photography Using a Nokia N80

Python S60 - Time-lapse Photography Using a Nokia N80

Just threw this together as a learning project. This little python script will allow you to do time-lapse photography using a symbian device using Python S60 3rd Edition. The script asks you how many photos you wish to take and the delay between each picture. You can also choose different settings for the pictures.

Python Script - maintains thumbnails in subfolder

This a very simple script (quite messy too). What is does is checks all images in a folder and creates a thumbnail version in a subfolder called “thumbs”. The script keeps all images in a list and then pickles the list into a file so when you run it again it will only create thumbs for images that weren’t there before. When the script starts it also checks for thumbnails without a big version it will delete these thumbs.
