News You Can Bruise for 2005 August 9 (entry 1)

(3) Tue Aug 09 2005 15:35 PST: My second developerWorks article, on the Cheetah templating language, is now published. What's more, I'm actually getting paid for these articles! (Once I set up direct deposit with my agent.) This is an intriguing development because I still haven't seen one cent of my advance for the book, or even the paltry sum I've earned so far in Amazon referral commissions.

Even better, I was actually in the market for an XML templating system to use with python and actually thought "I wonder what Leonard Richardson would use."

I kid you not. I'm trying to auto-generate playing cards from an SVG template, and figured that you'd have the most elegant template magic for such a problem. What luck!

Nick, that sounds suspiciously like an Iron Game Chef project.

Yes. It's based on Squinky's Johnny Builds Bugs in his Basement stuff. I never finished my Hobo game, but I was "SupaZubon" when I was in the running.

I have a system I'm working on now, but... shhhh!
