For those saying it's not a lot of money, I shall gladly accept your donations.
$650 would allow me to buy myself a new office chair, or sort out a DIY project. Sure, I can save for these things, but if it's an inconsequential amount for you - it's an amount of consequence for me.
$650 is a lot of money. Yes, definitely have those checks. I'd rather they call and check and everything is fine, than they not call, and things not be fine.
If your experience has been entirely Python then a compiled language is the way to go.
SOLID principles still apply, but I've found multi-threaded applications to be more sensible in compiled languages.
More SQL is valid, up to a point. Make sure you're familiar with the basic syntax for SELECT, UPDATE, DELETE.
After a compiled language, try a different scripting language: JS, Ruby, PHP. JS is interesting because it's browser based. Ruby is interesting because of its ActiveRecord layer. PHP is interesting because of its legacy, and where it's going syntactically.
I wouldn't stop there either. Once you've done the above, write a Domain Specific Language on top of one you're familiar with. I wrote my first one on top of C#.
Write a terminal only application, and then extend it to be visual. Does it have to be HTML? Write a flashcard program, there are so few about.
In my experience, Ruby was good for prototyping, and then JRuby for performance.
Python was good for quick science and then R, C or C++ for performance.
PHP was good for prototyping websites, and then you switch it to become the view layer with API support for scaling.
Once you've done the above, try an esoteric language such as Piet.
I'd add putting in a static code analysis tool in there because that will give you a number for how bad it is (total number of issues at level 1 will do), and that number can be given to upper management, and then whilst doing all the above you can show that the number is going down.

I've been doing a lot of flow diagrams and PlantUML has been invaluable.
I specifically like it because sharing the flow means sharing some text, which itself is vaguely human-readable.
There's an online renderer (bottom of the page in the above link), which means simple diagrams are also quick to create and view.
It's got a few different modes that it understands but I'd definitely add it to the list when you need simple vector graphics.

I wasn't aware of Fix My Street, thank you for that.
The reason for bringing it to HN's attention was because I too read about the service on the BBC News website and their plight with Instagram.
I was a little perplexed - it's a British company, operating entirely within the UK - why is Instagram getting involved? The 'gram' prefix has been around for quite a while [citation needed], is it an infringement of trademark? Then again, the company is posting pictures with captions, which is very Instagram-y, so I can see a certain level of cross over.

In summary, he's made a speed camera and is now proposing the use of it to his local council.
Are speed cameras not as ubiquitous in the USA as over here in the UK?
