Welcome to the new aeracode.org, now with a bit more blue, and added Unantistalker™ technology.
As well as a graphical tweak, I've also added a small map. In case you haven't figured it out, it's (supposedly) my current location; the actual age of the data is shown further down the page in the sidebar.
This is accomplished by having a Python script on my phone which uploads its current location to my server every time it moves; if there's a GPS available, it'll use that for exact coordinates, otherwise it just submits the cell ID and I attempt to find it in the OpenCellID database (I submit cell locations to it if a GPS is around, so in theory I need only walk a route once to locate all the cells, then I can use just cell IDs from there on).
While it may make it easier for the stalkers (that I probably wish I was famous enough to have) to find me, I'm not terribly worried; I can always add a bit of random jitter (and besides, location by cell ID alone isn't terribly accurate).
When everything's working, I'll post my code up here; until then, if you're sad enough, you can probably watch me walk to and from lectures. Alternatively, you may want to go get on with your life.

What're you using for the combined twitter/last.fm feed? Modified Sweetcron, or did you roll your own solution?
It's my own solution; the twitter python module and my last.fm parsing module, with a model behind them, and a cron every 15 minutes.
It'd probably be nicer if it was something that was properly finished, but personal websites are a personal thing. Also, there's a bit of NIH syndrome there I suspect.
Oo, cute. What phone do you recommend for Pythoniness? Last time I checked, Carphone Warehouse had a very limited range of Symbian phones, but I'm not even sure if that's where it's at any more.
Well, any Symbian phone will do, really; I quite like my eBay'd N73, and the 6120 Classic is small and quite nice too.
I don't generally buy phones new at the moment, though, so as for the actual retail market, who knows...
