The joys of internet shopping…

Went to Spain for the weekend and stayed in Malaga.

This holiday was the first time I’ve driven on the ‘wrong’ side of the road and it was interesting watching the other drivers on the road as they double parked, triple parked, parked in the middle of the road, and talked to each other while driving, without helmets, scooters at speeds passing 40km/h!

I recently upgraded my phone and decided I needed to create a new background for it.

I settled upon a 3D version of my blackcougar avatar which I use on some of my forum accounts.

The screen size is 240×320 and the background is below:

I’ve been mucking around with this piece for a while now and managed to get a semi-decent recording over the weekend.

It’s completely from memory and by ear but it’s still recognisable as the theme from Braveheart – “For the Love of a Princess”

All it needs is some bagpipes in the background…

I recently read a blog post about python-coverage. This is a module which works out how much of a python file has been used when a python file is run.

One very helpful use it can be put to is that of working out how much of a project’s source code has been covered by unit tests and I decided to try this for the Entertainer Media Center project.

What follows is how I installed and used python-coverage to work out how much of the Entertainer Source code is actually tested when all our unittests are run. I relied upon this webpage and the command line help available from python-coverage.
