I know this might be a shocker, but I love python! Don’t get me wrong, I don’t discriminate against languages. I will use whatever language I feel is best for the job at hand, I have been known to use Java, C, C++, C#, Bash scripting, python and even VB.NET(..shhh don’t tell anyone). Programming [...]
I thought I would take a little time out from time to time to highlight software and other things hanging around the internet I like. Today I would like to mention a wonderful bookmarklet by Arc90 called Readability.
From the site:
Reading anything on the Internet has become a full-on nightmare. As media outlets attempt to eke [...]
Recently, I have been working on some of the code for MUN’s LabNET, which has a pretty large database component. I figured that along with this work, I would whip up a friendly little tutorial which allows developers to get started using MySQL in conjunction with Python.

In the comments Jason Gedge(a very smart man I might add) mentioned that I should probably store code snippets as XML and then use XSL/XSLT to do the markup for the syntax highlighting. This is [...]

Storing code snippets is not the worlds greatest unconquered problem or anything like that, however that being said I have tried much of the software out there for storing code snippets and I still feel like [...]
I don’t think I can explain what code rush is better than it does on the website so:
Code Rush aired nationally on PBS in March 2000. It documents the Mozilla team as they struggle to publish the first open source release of the Netscape Browser. The film follows key players at a critical stage of [...]
I saw this post on hacker news today and later on Josh suggested I read it as well. Its a pretty great description of a persons evolution as a programmer and I think everyone who programs or is a software developer can certainly relate to many of the things described in his story. Check it [...]

I certainly have no problem with the people at Twitter making money I love the service and if they had some kind of pro account(I don’t know what they could offer in this space), I would more than likely pay for it. So I am really glad to see them slowly rolling out some non-obtrusive [...]
