Uploading photos to Shutterfly via Python

I finally got done sorting my 2008 photos this morning so I can start putting Christmas gifts together with them and needed to upload about 280 pictures to Shutterfly, where I have been getting prints since about 1999.

It always fails, usually after only about 10 pictures, which really sucks when you are trying to upload hundreds of pictures, which I usually do. So last night, I had over 300 shots to upload, and after [...]

OOPs

Generally, when most people learn that I am a geologist by training, they are surprised. Maybe I just give off some sort of geeky aura, or maybe they are surprised that I’m not "using my degree" (actually I am in a way, but that is too convoluted a story to get into here). At any [...]

Move to WebFaction

Finding the right Web host isn’t easy. Google "<web host name> review" for virtually any host out there, and you will find a plethora of both positive and negative feedback. Chances are, you’re going to find more negative feedback than positive just about every time. A month or so ago, when I was looking for [...]
