Last Minute Webcam Christmas Cards 

Have you left it too late to send out Xmas cards? Perhaps you were saving the planet by not sending them this year. Well whatever your excuse its no longer valid. If you have a webcam and its still Xmas day its not too late to send out some cute personalized cards via email. 

The site was built by the team at digital agency codegent on christmas eve as an last minute xmas present to the internet. Luke Hubbard explained.. "Its was just a bit of fun really, I wanted to send out some cards with my son dressed up as an elf. We have this cool technology that lets people take pictures with their webcams so we thought why not make a little app and share it with the world. Its just grown from there." Since launch news of the site has been spreading Xmas cheer virally through email and services like twitter. 

Hosting is provided by Google App Engine and the site requires you login using a Google account to send emails. Give it a try and send any feedback to @luke_bkk on twi

# Got hit by this crazy bug in python

result = urlfetch.fetch('http://domain/image.jpg')
multipart_upload_body = "multi part %s upload string" % result.content

# This caused an invalid ascii error since result.content is binary and python wanted to convert it to ascii. 
# The solution was not obvious, the only way we found to do it was to create a byte array then write to it like a buffer

buffer = array.array("B") # B = unsigned bytes
buffer.fromstring("multi part ")
