  1. Researchers at Argonne rediscover parallel scripting from 1995. http://bit.ly/21j2Ec How about a literature search next time? #duh
  2. New blog post. Fun with block towers! http://bit.ly/500Bl0
  3. Instead of cheap laptops, stores really ought to use black friday to sell deeply discounted birth control. #idiocracy
  4. It's refreshing to know that people still do holiday coding projects for fun. Hope @alex_gaynor keeps sending me parsing issues :-).
  5. @jessenoller @voidspace Yes, another vote for rsync. I use it all of the time for off-site backup from my Mac.
  6. @karld re list.pop(0). Look at collections.deque instead.
  7. @wmacgyver @fwierzbicki Ha! Well, I can say that implementing actors is a lot trickier than it looks so far. Hmmmm.
  8. @fwierzbicki @wmacgyver "Working on" is a bit strong. I'm working on presentation material (concepts, possible implementations, etc.)
  9. @orestis PLY might be usable for that grammar, but it might be overkill. Might be faster to just hand-write something simple.
  10. @tarek_ziade That could be. I ought to check the Belgian pub (Hopleaf) just a few blocks down from my evil lair to see what they have.
  11. @tarek_ziade Chimay is great stuff... I buy it regularly in Chicago. At Whole Foods.
  12. @alex_gaynor Grrr. I hate google groups. Spam has all but killed its usefulness.... sorry.
  13. @alex_gaynor Messages should go through if you're a member of ply-hack. Will check the moderation queue.
  14. @wmacgyver There are actors if you make them yourself or use libraries.
  15. For my 500th tweet, I'll just say that I'm working on some notes about actors in Python (for my workshop http://bit.ly/2IHE1E)
  16. RT @diveintomark: Google Wave is a great tool for collaborating with people. Unfortunately, it turns out I don't actually like people.
  17. RT @voidspace: IronPython tutorial at PyCon 2010: http://twurl.nl/mz64dw
  18. RT @ThePSF: Registration is now open for PyCon 2010! http://us.pycon.org/2010/re...
  19. RT @oliverandrich: Python Reference (4th Edition) by @dabeaz == Best Python Book I ever bought.
  20. @ianbicking @alex_gaynor I really need to come up with the world's first shift-reduce based moderation captcha
