Everyone loves Python. I particularly feel encased in Python’s womb-like warmth and comfort when I am trying to do client-side communication with web servers or web services. Most of the magic has already been accomplished by the time I type import urllib2 – super simple and clean interfaces that seem to go increasingly deep as [...] This morning my company MiserWare released the latest beta version of our personal energy-saving software, MicroMiser. MicroMiser is a cutting-edge application that can save up to 35% system energy with no noticeable performance impact.

The second week, however, is probably the [...] Mat Grove had the brilliant idea of setting up a webcam to periodically (every 3 seconds in this case) take pictures during the party we had for Halloween this year. With just a bit of editing, here is the result: You can find Mat’s version at his site (it’s probably better if you haven’t seen it [...] About 2 weeks ago I announced my intentions to finally and indisputably enter adult manhood in the only way I know how: by growing a mustache to rival the one my father wore when I was a child.
