Not a bad kitty. Just misunderstood. Added grey, dark, and light variants but I’m not counting the variants towards my design count goal.

@hyde Threadless is indeed a US company. No idea if they ship international!

Woo hoo! I made it to Python 2.7 throwing an exception about invalid filenames! Everything’s still horribly broken, but now it’s horribly broken in the bundled ancient Python!

Confession: I only started writing Python at someone else’s request a few years ago. Sure I’d slide it into projects where appropriate but “hey I’d like you to write some Python for me” is still kind of novel.

What I’m saying is I haven’t looked at 2.x since ~3.1

Simple GUI, a little templating, some Python already in there. This project would be a really good candidate to be redone with Beeware. Alas, that is not an option.

Power’s out. Time to make out with my sweety.

Boo power’s back on.

But we don’t have to tell our bosses.

And there it goes again. Fun times.

I would very much like to have electricity again please.

Sighing a fairly deep sigh. Turns out you can light a candle and curse the darkness.

Luger sound energy status page for my area’s outage, with restoration time TBD and no update for 3 hours

So: I finally got the tool working. Management stressed the importance of prompt action on the task list. I started working on said task list, even getting partway through the first item.

Then I lost power, which has been out ~6h with no estimate for repair.
