Enthusiastic Cupcake

Some photos below from the most recent session of @PyStarPhilly. 

We had a great crowd of students, graciously hosted by Devnuts in the Northern Liberties. The reviews from students are great, and we hope to see all of them at the next Philly PUG project night.

Special thanks to Devnuts, the Python Software Foundation, organizers Dana and Maneesha, the fellow Philly instructors/assistants (Erika, Jake, Mjumbe, Andrew, Sarah), and our visitors/curriculum providers Jessica and Christine from the Boston Python Workshop.

TadaSo, it’s not a jazzy portfolio page yet, I decided to make each portfolio thing a Wordpress entry and use a category page to organize it. And use conditionals to have a welcome statement come on. Still, hell of a lot better than my previous approach of keeping a doc listing what I’ve done and a corresponding random folder ‘portfolio’ where I keep copies of files.

Check it out, y’all

“Swamiji, I am puzzled. Following your instruction, suppose I never asked for food, and nobody gives me any. I should starve to death.”

“Die then!” This alarming counsel split the air. “Die if you must Mukunda! Never admit that you live by the power of food and not by the power of God! He who has created every form of nourishment, He who has bestowed appetite, will certainly see that His devotee is sustained! Do not imagine that rice maintains you, or that money or men support you! Could they aid if the Lord withdraws your life-breath? They are His indirect instruments merely. Is it by any skill of yours that food digests in your stomach? Use the sword of your discrimination, Mukunda! Cut through the chains of agency and perceive the Single Cause!”
