Katie Cunningham is a Python and Django developer for Speak Agent
by day, and a technical writer by night. While she had always had an interest in programming, it didn't turn
into a career until she started to work at NASA. There, she slowly
transitioned from gathering requirements to developing full time,
advocating the use of more open source in the government sector.

It was at NASA that she gained an interest in 508 compliance. At
first, she was only interested in getting her applications through QA
faster. Over time, however, she gained a passion for a web that was
easy for everyone to use. Now in the private sector, she is

She currently lives just outside of Washington, DC wi ...more

Speed-running Paizo Adventure Paths

Back when Frozen Flame came out, I knew that not only did I want to run it, but that I also wanted to do an experiment: A speed-run. While I have no issues with running Adventure Paths as written, the Paizo content pipeline is an absolute firehose, and there’s more APs out there than I have time to get through. If I could make an AP more efficient to run with no effort, that could help me work on

Quotes by Katie Cunningham (?)

“learn Python? Why not a language that was made for beginners, such as Scratch? Why not learn Java or C++, which most colleges seem to be using? Personally, I believe that Python is an ideal language for beginners. It runs on multiple systems. The syntax (the grammar of the language) isn’t fussy. It’s easy to read, and many people can walk through a simple script and understand”
― Katie Cunningham, Python in 24 Hours, Sams Teach Yourself

“I’ve never really liked the Yanks. They’re really very nice people, you know. Yes, but you can’t trust people who pick up the ball all the time when they play football.”

“If you try this yourself, I recommend doing so when no one is home. Otherwise, you will run the risk of someone walking in on you and having to witness a scene that includes a mirror, the husband’s Stanley Powerlock tape measure, and the half-undressed self, squatting.”

“I want to see a doctor," I said.
He beamed. "But you've already seen one. Lucky Chang has M.I).s and Ph.D.s from every school between Seoul and Pusan. You were treated by the most capable surgeon to ever come out of Korea."
"I want to see a less capable doctor.”
