I installed and used Python for the first time this evening. Pretty nice language, not terribly different from perl. I wanted to use an import script for Quicken data and it actually worked. :p It's going to save me a lot of typing.
I love Python. Taught myself the basics a couple of years ago. But it's a use or lose it situation. So I'm going to register for Python class at the county college next week. It's one thing to gobble up some syntax and do a few simple programs. But there are many more things I want to use it for and the college offers a series of 3 courses. That means I'll be immersed in it for 1.5 years, off and on.

The one thing I noticed is that the perfect language for using imported libraries.

Spent most of the day helping my mom with Christmas decoration, we went in the bush to get 2 trees and then did her setup, then had supper there. Picked up 2 other grilles at HD and finished my door.

Tomorrow I will do my own inside decorations and also cleanup my crawlspace in the process as it's a mess in there, and also finish up the ductwork for my wood stove. It will then vent the heat right into the main floor. That should make a big difference for heat transfer. The grilles in the door will be the return air to complete the air circuit.

Doesn't look too bad. I could have centered it a little better though.

^ Looks good. We did the same thing to a closet door back when we had a swamp cooler to let it vent. Otherwise the humid air sat in the closet and rotted.

Ductwork and heat register for my wood stove finally done. Got over 50' worth of ductwork involved in this run to get heat from the ceiling where wood stove is, all the way to opposite end of house where living room and kitchen is. Heat will then naturally get to rest of house from there, ideally. The return path is the vents in the door to the basement. Now I'm too hot from doing work so don't actually need heat but I can't wait to try it out. Probably later when I cool down. It's like 19C in the office and 17C in the living room.

And yeah I need to fix that baseboard, its just tacked on temporarily, there's a whole section of floor missing under the couch that I need to fix first once I clean up my garage and make room for the table saw so I can cut wood boards to try to match the floor. It's where old fireplace used to be... ironically. I had thought of putting a wood burning insert but it was just in an overall terrible location so ripped it all out instead. There was no way to put the couch in front of the TV which was annoying.
