WP Comment Notification, take two
I’ve updated the code that I published a couple days ago. It now supports multiple blogs and three notification methods:

WP Comment Notification with AppleScript
A more primitive alternative to using a python script for notification about new comments is to just use good ol’ AppleScript. Apparently, it can do XML-RPC calls and Growl notifications out-of-the-box (with Growl installed, at least). The script below will go out and check for new comments on your blog. It’ll only do it once as I didn’t want to dig into this too much, but maybe it’s also possible to sleep in AppleScript.

WordPress Comment Moderation Notifier for OSX
Matt Mullenweg mentioned earlier today a plugin/application combo that displays a system tray popup on Windows whenever you have comments awaiting moderation. He also expressed a desire to see something like that for OSX. I thought it’d be nice too and given the lovely weather, I had some time on my hands.

Using Django’s FormPreview with @login_required
As part of Django’s ‘batteries included’ philosophy, it comes with the FormPreview class to make it easy to automate this workflow: “Display an HTML form, force a preview, then do something with the submission.” Also provided is the @login_required decorator which makes it easy and obvious to mark functions as requiring a logged-in user. Both these features are awesome by themselves, but wouldn’t it be great to combine them and observe how much the awesomeness increases? Let’s give it a shot.

Bug patches for django-voting and django-tagging
As part of my top-secret Django project, I’ve enlisted the help of the django-voting and django-tagging packages to provide rating and tagging, respectively, to my models. These work wonders and serve their purpose to a T, however, I’ve come across a couple small bugs that I wanted to document here, in addition to the bug reports I’ve posted.

Multiple File Uploads in Django
As part of yet-to-be-announced project, I’m working with Django. After only a couple days, I’ve been able to produce some pretty cool results. One of the requirements that I have is that a user be able to upload a bunch of files when editing a form. Using Django’s newforms package, I was able to quickly add the ability to upload 1 file, but I wanted the user to be able to upload as many as they wanted.
