So Python 3.0 is finally out. I have already gone over the What’s New document, but I’ll need to do a few more readings before I grasp every change. I am curious to see how this will affect the Django release schedules.
I just found out about this nifty little SIMBL plug-in. I am not crazy about OS X hacks like these, but it’s definitely interesting to be able to add some user scripting capability to Safari and all other WebKit applications. I wish Apple provided a proper plug-in API for extending functionality.
24 Ways has had some good articles in the past few years, and they are back this year with more. I am not crazy about the new design, but I am sure the content will be worth it.
I like working with JavaScript classes, but I really don’t like the way I have to contruct them. I have been researching a way to clean up this process a few months back, and after reading about how base2 and Prototype.js do it, I stumbled upon John Resig’s Simple JavaScript Inheritance method. It’s simply brilliant, and so easy to turn into a proper jQuery plug-in.
I have been meaning to add a simple Twitter feed for my updates to this blog, this afternoon I finally got some time to do it. I looked at django-syncr first, but it seemed a bit too heavy for my purposes, so I wrote my own synchronizer on top of python-twitter.
