About Mark

I'm Mark Craig, husband of Nathalie, father to Tim, Emma, and Diane, brother to Matt, who registered mcraig.org, and lets me keep web pages here. I live in Barraux, France, a town on the border between the départements of the Isère and the Savoie.

You'll still know nothin' 'bout me, but here's my CV. I work as a technical writer, writing mainly nonfiction about software.

This blog is mainly nonfiction, too. If you read it regularly, you will notice most entries seem like notes to self: running times, writeups of how I installed some software or burned a CD, recipes, links to articles, photos of the children. I'm not an inventive person; my valedictory address to the Rogers High School Class of 1988 was about continuing education. This weblog is just an external part of my memory, one that I can search easily.

This is an "I hope it helps" message relative to your blog of aug, 15 about a python error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "playlist.py", line 29, in ?
shutil.copyfile(song, copyname)
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/shutil.py", line 48, in copyfile
fdst = open(dst, 'wb')
IOError: invalid mode: wb

I had the same and after a bit of struggle discovered why: I had a colon ":" in the name, and the USB stick used a vfat filesystem which does not accept a : in the name. It took me quite a time to find it.
Have a nice day,
Romano
