Ouch

I went to check my site a few minutes ago and found that any page I tried to access returned a “403 Forbidden” error. scary. So I spent a panicked 5 minutes checking error logs, .htaccess files, file permissions, folder permissions…of course the last thing I checked was the permissions on my public_html folder. It seems my host hiccupped and changed the public_html folder’s permissions to 0750…so it was a quick fix (once I found it), but; note to self — check the public_html permissions first.

PocketPyGUI: an intuitive, pythonic wrapper of the native Windows Mobile GUI

In playing around with my Dell Axim X51v, I have discovered PythonCE (the python distribution for windows mobile), and, more recently PocketPyGUI — a reliable, complete and easy to use GUI library. I stress easy to use because this library takes all the Windows out of Windows programming ;), while still providing the slick integration with the rest of the Windows Mobile operating system. I’ve also whipped up a few apps (some more complete than others) while getting to know the library. You can find them here on sourceforge all bundled into one zip file.
Here are a few screenshots of the demo program:
