Atari was just a blink ago

It might not look like much but this was very exciting to a very young me:

It might have something to do with why I made this GameJs game three years ago:

Been listening to Tegan and Sara:

Sublime Text Paragraph Re-Wrapping

I’m a big fan of sublime text and just found a great function for re-wrapping text. In Debian, select the block of text to re-wrap and hit alt-q (shortcut for Edit > Wrap > Wrap Paragraph at Ruler).

That will take you from this:

no_respect_for_ruler

To this:

alt_q_rewrap

No more manual formatting, woo!

Converting from Python 2 to 3

"You too can solder!"
“You too can solder!”

And here’s a clip I took a while back too: Crissy Field, SF CA

I found a hierarchical tagging Django app called django-categories that I wanted to use in a project. There were a couple of things that I wanted to fix so I forked it and for one reason or another started to build in Python 3 support.

I’ve heard about Python 3. I’ve even written some small programs in it. But library support wasn’t really there back when I tried it and I slunk back to the comfort of Python 2.7. It turns out that all the dependencies for django-categories work in Python 3 and I found a few tools that make version portable code a snap to write. Maybe 2014 is the year of py3k.
