I spent this beautiful Fall Saturday in a cushy chair, missing the great outdoors.
An indoor lifestyle left one a lighter skin shade, no matter the baseline, and that could mean different things, one being perhaps one was more of a managerial bent, suited to keeping track of stuff, more into the big picture.
Such folks need offices, become officers, then become pale, and pant more for breath pretty soon. Chances are, they're not getting enough exercise, plus who knows what they inhale for entertainment.
In the "grass is always greener" tradition, husky, hard working blue collar types, perhaps more reddened around the neckline, would imagine the coddled life of someone floating in a think tank, hardly needing to move a finger, let alone grunt under the strain in this merciless heat or cold.
The paler skinned knowledge worker types are kept alive for what passes between their ears, and communicate by moving fingers ("hardly" meaning wiggling them over a keyboard).
So yeah, that was my blood thickening day, attacking the intricacies of regular expressions as used by Django to parse those incoming URLs. Do you ever say "earl" for URL, or always "You Are El"?
I also played with Pillow, which sounds so comfy and nice. Read in a picture file and study the Image module API. Make the colorful koala bear turn gray, as in grayscaled.
The idea is to work up enough of a head of steam to drive a tour bus through this same terrain, keeping up my end of the bargain as someone who knows a thing or two about the ins and outs. I'm the trusted local, the native.
Django, if you've gotten this far, is a flagship website development framework Made in Kansas. I've got this little teaching website buried on Cloud9 that basically implements a lookup service against some read-only databases. The design roughly parallels what I've done in Flask at my Pythonanywhere site.
With these basics now in place, I need to pour some glue into it, some adhesive language designed to keep it all stuck together.
My students will come away thinking more like officers than ever.
However I'll challenge them to get out there and do some heavy lifting in a more physical sense, even if that just means hauling their own bodies up some nearby mountain or whatever.
