Suffering from a little burnout after delivering a few projects. For those coders out there, what are you working on thats fun / exciting?
I will start:
Following up from my previous post, the most fun thing I did was compete in the Engine Yard Contest.. I created a python client, which communicated the results back to my webserver every 23 minutes via xml. On the webserver itself, I used the watch command to provide stats that auto update: ‘watch -n 30 “cat /tmp/results | sort | uniq | head”‘. The results had their score first, with lowest being the best like golf.
My favorite webpage I have viewed today has been the Arch Linux July Screenshots thread: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=75154

Q: What are you doing on a Friday?
A: Stepping up other community member’s shell game.
This:
watch -n 30 “cat /tmp/results | sort | uniq | head”
Can be made into:
watch -n 30 “sort -u /tmp/results | head”
In other news, I’m playing with django and absolutely falling in love with it.

Also, put this somewhere in your theme’s custom.php or just somewhere in your theme for wordpress to make it not break doublequotes:
/* Prevent wordpress from mundging quotes and breaking command line copy / paste */
remove_filter(‘the_content’, ‘wptexturize’)
