System administrator at a web-hosting company.  Work-related python
things I've written:

1) Web-based 'control panel' for customers to manage email accounts,
   etc (not deployed yet; this is replacing a very crufty perl-based
   control panel).
2) a 'roto-rooter' for qmail spools (useful for viewing what's in the
   queue and clearing out spam or other things that clog up the
   queue).  Basically a more versatile (but sometimes slower)
   substitute for qmail-qread and the perl qmHandle.
3) some little things for automation, and some cgi's

I've also written things that I use at work but weren't written
specifically for work:
1) a gnome applet that works like the task menu in MacOS
2) a replacement for the webcontrol applet in gnome that takes up less
   screen space and adds more features (like google searches).
