Code
Here are some scripts and documents that I have written for my own needs that may (or may not) be useful to others too.
If you want to redistribute any of the code, you must include a copy of the Lesser GPL with them. Do what you like with the PDFs.
Zetact
A reusable contact form module in Python.
zetact has two parts. The FormProcessor class that can be reused by Python web developers to make more advanced forms with different fields. There is also a simpleform function that can be used by those who just want a simple contact form in a hurry. The other files demonstrate how to use this.

Using your Ipod on Linux
This was a guide for gtkpod and Sound Juicer written for non-technical users. E.g. one technical person sets up a computer for someone else and gives them this document.
Nowadays, Ipod support for Linux is built into Rhythmbox and Amarok, so a non-technical user can hopefully use their Ipod on Linux without a document. But it might still be useful to someone.
