Welcome to Jim D Scott dot Com. This is where I experiment with fiction and technology.
Application version: 0.61. Web.py version: 0.38. System Python version: 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Jun 20 2019, 14:14:55) [GCC 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-23)]. Hello, my world. You asked for page: donate
This site is built using web.py version 0.33, because that's what Site5 supports. It's also running about Python 2.6 for the same reason.
The site uses Mobile JQuery.
To use web.py with Site5, I needed to follow a few key steps:
AddHandler fcgid-script .py
to my .htaccess file, which
is slightly different than what is recommended on the webpy.org site (fastcgi-script)It seemed like I learned a lot more than three points, but I think that's mostly me learning what not to do. For example:
namei -mcommand. Anonymous access is the most important. Apache/Anonymous must have execute rights on all directories in the path and read rights on every file.
I am playing around with web.py and JavaScript to build some simple games. My first effort, Zombie Trail, was a hybrid between Oregon Trail and a zombie survival game set on the road between SXSW and Bonaroo. That project is hibernating for now as being a bit too challenging for my current skills.
Here are games that are more my speed. There's no polish here, because these are proofs of concept not real games.
I'm the author of Zeb Nebulon's Erotic Adventures Through Space and Time -- Part 1. Zeb Nebulon is a secret agent for the Pan-American Brotherhood which, in the year 2009, is engaged in a life-and-death struggle for national survival against the Icelandic contingent.
More information on Zeb Nebulon is available here.
I'm the donation page. Eventually I will finish and publish a game which will be so good, you'll want to give me more in exchange for your enjoyment. This makes me a whore and an unrealistic whore, at that.
On the other hand, as I've always said, it is better to be optimistic and wrong than pessimistic and right. Which also makes me think that if I could build a game that left people feeling hopeful, I could probably rob my customers blind.
