I’ve fiddled around with programming since my Sinclair ZX81 days. I used to do quite a bit but I was always too impatient to read manuals, when I was a teenager, so I never really made it as a coder. I still enjoy being able to cobble things together and I have a couple of mini-projects that I’d like to write myself:

• a content management system: not a website content management system, but just somewhere I can log content, and associated metadata, for various media
• a holding area for character, plot and other ideas for my novel.

I’m sure solutions exist. Hey, I could even use a spreadsheet; where’s the fun in that, tho’? Python has always looked like a cool language and a lot of cool people recommend it. So, I’m going to give it a go.

Don’t worry, this blog will remain focused on web content and web marketing. However, just as I plan to continue blogging about radio, from time to time, I may also talk about Python occasionally.

Actually, my pal Aq has asked me to log every single thing that I experience as a Python beginner. I’m sure he’ll then harvest all my brain-drippings and turn them into a profitable book, or something. If the Python stuff becomes too frequent, I promise I’ll start a separate Python blog.
