More webapp stuff today: I got Twilio working with Flask/Heroku, with ample help from Moshe and not a lot of help from Flask/Heroku. I can now automatically reply to SMS messages sent to my Twilio number! Very exciting, but still not particularly screencap-able. The next task was to figure out some persistent state-keeping, because Heroku’s file system is ephemeral. Moshe’s advice was to try using a MongoDB, so we tried to set one up. Theoretically everything is in place, but authentication is giving us trouble. Hopefully that will get resolved tomorrow.

I also attended Jessica McKellar’s talk on making and breaking Python sandboxes, and Julia’s practice practice talk on iPython Notebook, pandas, and data.
