Well, it *was* dark, wasn't it?  That's my excuse for such poor pix
from my 5mp Kodak.

Before the race Justin changed a tire at warp speed while Mark and
Andy looked on:

About five years ago I became fed up with the expense of Borland's
Delphi, an object-oriented GUI *Pascal* development platform, and
started wondering what programming language would preserve my
investment in home-made code when I converted to Linux.  *Python* (not
*Java* or *Kylix*) seemed the obvious o-o choice because the
introductory documentation made the language seem easy to learn and
simple to use.  There were a lot of extensions for GUI development if
not for rapid prototyping and for client-side scripting in *html*.
Rapid prototyping isn't all it's cracked up to be, anyway, and
client-side scripting is for the birds, IMNSHO.  (I happen to believe
you can provide a well optimized end-user Web "experience" with CSS
alone.)

Since then I've written some Python things for my own amusement:

o The weather page in my sig is a CGI application in Python that
serves *html* documents.

o At home and on the road I use *Tonto*, a Gnome GUI application, as
my personal address-list, calendar, and notepad:

o *Vital Linux Tweaks* is a script that, rather than configure myriads
upon myriads of options, settings and properties via the GUI
interfaces of various applications, instead tweaks their text-based
configuration files, which are scattered throughout the user
directories.  My operating environment is Debian Gnu/Linux with stable
release 4.0 r1 (nickname Etch) levels of kernel, system utilities,
Firefox, and Oo.org. I use *Vital Linux Tweaks* to document all my
Etch, etc., preferences in a central location.

o *PythonTidy* is a *Python* script that cleans up, regularizes, and
reformats *Python* scripts.  Once upon a time the link to it received
several hits a day.  Maybe something better has come along now.

Another former Delphi coder here.  I switched over to it almost the
day it was first released.

For the last few years I've been into .NET using Visual Studio and
quite happy with it.
