As above, when you’re both a col­lec­tor and a pro­gram­mer, strange things could happen. I’m a beer coaster col­lec­tor and my col­lec­tion now reached 250+ unique items so it became a bit a mess to keep that well organized.

So that’s why a devel­oped Beer­Coaster man­ager. Yes, I done a pro­gram that help me to keep my col­lec­tion orga­nized. It is still a bit rudi­men­tary but does its job pretty well. So, if you’re a beer coaster col­lec­tor like me, you’ll found this useful.

It’s writ­ten in Python and uses sqlite as data­base to store it’s infor­ma­tions, so it is portable across var­i­ous plat­forms (i.e.: you can copy & paste your files from Linux to Win­dows and it will keep working).

Cur­rently, it can be down­loaded only by SVN and it is every­thing but stable. I hope to release some­thing good within the end of year.

The project home­page is hosted on Google project: http://​bcman​ager.​google​code.com/

Get­ting it work­ing under Win­dows, cur­rently, is really hard: for the final releases, though, I should pro­vide a Win­dows installer.

This is a double post: it will be pub­lished on two dif­fer­ent blogs. The great news is that I bought a domain and I have a new hoster, so from now on I’ll pub­lish all my posts on the other blog. The word​press.com plat­form was very restric­tive to me, so I had to move toward a much more com­plete web host­ing platform.

So it’s time to move away again. This time the site will be hosted on friend’s server (thanks!), and I’ll have my own domain. So, please update your book­marks, the new URL is http://​zeta-​pup​pis.com and the feed URL is http://​zeta-​pup​pis.​com/feed/.
