A busy day for booze

So today was the day I finally bottled my elderflower cider. Inital tasting is good but not as great as last years but I will let it chill and settle a bit before final judgement. 6% at a total cost of £1.45 / litre I'm still not going to complain when its easing the heat of the India summer we are going to have.

Raspberry Pi, once again

As a few of you know I was very lucky to be one of the first here in the UK to get a RaspberryPi (for those of you that have no idea what I'm talking about, its a very small low power computer, look back in the archives). At that point there was a distro but it wasn't the one they wanted to release. Also people were busy cross compiling anything and everything they needed to get things into the package tree.

More python, padding zeros on string and numbers

Why am I putting this here you might ask? Well its something that has been in and out of my script numerous times and each time I have to look it up so thought I would drop it here where I can find it every time. Also I'm hoping that by tying it in here I will remember and never have to come back anyway!!
