   Just loading data to display on the page. Thanks for all your help. I see you write takeoff software -- that's pretty close to what we do. We do the supply for builders.

   Yes eventually. At the moment, I'll be the only consumer of this API.

   The API is in process of being built. At the moment, it's internal, but might be something I open up later. re: auth Should I be using oAuth? or is there something simpler with 80% the security?

    I used the tiny Palm phone for a few months as my primary phone. The battery life was terrible, even with a battery case, it lasted 2-3 hours. I'd love a phone like that which had a proper battery life.

    I just bought the light phone 2 and I'm reconsidering it after your comment. Can you please elaborate on what/how to do this? I'd love to spend 49 bucks for a basic phone + maps, without crapware.

    For an Ubuntu server. My specific use case is turning out to be: 1. User hits button 2. two printers (with different kinds of paper), print out two documents. I want to hit an API to send the two documents to the printers.

    Would that allow me to bypass the print dialog on a browser? I just want the user the hit print and it prints with preset settings. I'm assuming an API is what I'm looking for. I can't find any recent python libs that impleme
