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.

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

Ruins of Azlant: Stripping it for parts

I adore Paizo’s Adventure Paths. They’re a huge timesaver for busy GMs, and not just those who want to run a long pre-written campaign! You can easily pull out interesting scenarios from the APs. All it takes is rubbing off a few serial numbers and you can slot them into your custom campaign with no one the wiser. I’ve written about this for other APs, and now, after a years-long campaign, it’s ti

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’s Quotes

“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.”
