#Blaugust2026 Day 30 – What I Learned In Boating School It's the next-to-last day of Blaugust, and I suppose I should talk about what I learned this go-round with it. That I should talk about what things started to become clear to me as the month went on. It really feels like this month blew by, didn't it? Either way, some things did stick out, at least for me. The biggest thing, by far was that I can in fact, still write, that I have not totally lost my fastball yet. https://wordsundermyname.wordpress.com/2026/08/30/blaugust2026-day-30-what-i-learned-in-boating-school/

x is for XML parsing I may have mentioned BeautifulSoup a few times in the past but I'm not gonna let a full month of Python posts go by without hyping it once more. https://hamatti.org/posts/x-is-for-xml-parsing-python-a-to-z/ #Python #Blaugust #Blaugust2026

Parsing information from XML and HTML documents is a nice experience with BeautifulSoup.

u is for uv Most of my uv usage is running independent scripts or REPL sessions with dependencies. I really like that I don't have to create a full project for everything just to get a virtual environment and packages installed. https://hamatti.org/posts/u-is-for-uv/ #Python #Blaugust #Blaugust2026

U is for uv - Python A to Z

uv is a tool to manage Python environments, packages and projects. I use it mainly to make running standalone scripts with external dependencies or bringing those dependencies to REPL sessions.

A Grandfather, Again

Everyone tells you the second grandchild is the easy one, the sequel you already know how to watch. Then she shows up two weeks early, two thousand miles from where you’re about to live, and …

Validate your incoming JSON data with Pydantic to make sure it behaves. As a bonus, you can modify the data at the same time to parse it into a format that's most useful to your program. https://hamatti.org/posts/j-is-for-json-validation-python-a-to-z/ #Python #Blaugust #Blaugust2026

Don’t let rogue data mess up your program or database — validate it at the door with Pydantic. I wrote a quick tutorial to get you started with the basic building blocks fo Pydantic’s data validation schema.

I just wrapped the 40th session of my 1-Star Dungeon Pathfinder 2e campaign. In this session, the party learned about sword breeding. https://godless-internets.org/2026/08/08/singing-sword-eggs #Blaugust #Blaugust2026

g is for get_or_create Django's get_or_create is great. It lets you search for something in the database and craete it if it didn't exist. It's such a great tool for things like data entry and makes the code nice and easy to read and follow. https://hamatti.org/posts/g-is-for-get-or-create-python-a-to-z/ #Python #Django #Blaugust #Blaugust2026

Django’s ORM has a neat shorthand for when you’re creating new objects in the database but some might already exist and you want to reuse them rather than always create new ones. QuerySet’s get_or_create does all that on a single line.

Bandcamp Friday - Violinbwoy meets Laboratorium Pieśni

Bandcamp Friday - 7th August 2026. I only just remembered to to get this one in the nick of time with a little over a hour to go on. This is Violinbwoy’s take on a Belarusian traditional song. A beautiful interpretation by Laboratorium Pieśni remixed for sound system play by Violinbwoy in his laboratory. A tune gathering the ancient spirits - from that time to this time… play it loud and feel the vibrations!
