They really live up to the "Next Day Video" name! It wasn't even 24 hours since I gave my PEP talk at North Bay Python, and the video is now already up!

Watch, listen, and let me know what you think! 😊

Yesterday at @NorthBayPython , not only we get to listen to great talks, but we're also treated to freshly cooked burgers and refreshing milkshakes 😋 The best conference lunch I've ever had!

And while can't pet any of the barn cats because allergies but they're all so adorable and friendly 😻

I'm looking forward to today's conference. If you're in the area, there's still time to get a ticket and join us!

Invoking Python power at @NorthBayPython!

These socks in the color of Python should become standard swag at every Python conference!

I really enjoyed @itsthejoker's talk this morning at @NorthBayPython about Exceptions.

You should watch it when it comes out.

Here's Joe giving some examples on how to use Exception Group (new in Python 3.11, added via @iritkatriel 's PEP 654)

Just finished giving the closing keynote for Women Who Code Python Dev Summit: Block Data Py🎙️💁‍♀️
Such a wonderful and supportive community. Thank you so much for having me, and letting me talk about bots, APIs, and about my Raspberry Pi aquarium/potato-cam.

Video will be out soon, in the meantime you can check out my slides here:

Managed to boot up my Raspberry Pi 4! It runs Python!
I didn't buy a display for it, so I hooked it up to my 49'' ultra wide monitor and managed to do a split display: one side of the monitor showing the Raspberry Pi, the other one for my MacBook pro.

@orsinium haha I might just do that (or to my GitHub repo) if I couldn't figure out how to work with these APIs.

I got it to work!
I created a Python script to take a photo in Raspberry Pi, then using Flickr API, upload the photo to Flickr.
I've set a cron job to run this every hour, so we should see a new photo in 2 minutes!

Sample photos I took for testing

The setup:

My husband really wants to check on his potato garden 🥹🥔 So now we moved it to the window.

Here's the current setup:
Clipped the webcam to the blinds. Raspberry Pi on the floor for now.

Pushed my code to GitHub in case anyone wants to check it out or try it for themselves. (MIT licensed)

@WallyStevens The fire's not from my side of Canada 🙃

The Raspberry Pi PotatoCam has been running overnight so we now have sample data for day and night view. 🥔📹

I checked and made sure that we have enough storage on the Raspberry Pi for it to take 1 photo per hour for the next 3 weeks. (It needs about 66 MB).

Taking one final look before we leave.
