Yes, another hack to make this site easier for me to manage.
I post a lot from Simplenote now. While this is very efficient for making link-posts, it makes it rather challenging to create a post with images. Images are stored on the Macdrifter host in the standard WordPress content directories but I need a URL to create the image link reference in Simplenote.
I have used GoodReader in the past to upload an image to the server, but I have to manually create the URL for the image.
A great explanation of list comprehensions at DZone. I've used them several times and the linked Python.org explanation was what I used to understand them. I'm not a mathematician or a Programmer but list comprehensions are pretty cool.
I'm currently looking at incorporating some more markdown functionality in a few personal Python centric projects I have. There is some interesting stuff in this space.
Sundown is a markdown parser for Python and many other languages. Specifically, Misaka is the Python implementation of Sundown.
Pyhame is a static html generator for markdown with support for code highlighting. Installation looks simple.
Ever2Simple is a Python module for migrataing Evernote documents to Simplenote with conversion to markdown.
From Waylan Limberg at achinghead.com. A tutorial for implementing a new Python-Markdown extension. This provides an easy way to add custom markdown processing with only a few lines of code. In the examples, he implements strike through, underline and alternatives for bold and italic.
I’m using a different Python module for my Simplenote to WordPress blogging engine but this one looks very interesting.
Here’s his Github for the project
Edit: I’m an idiot.
Jeff will definitely be missed.
Fever is great at measuring what’s important. Here’s what Fever is telling me about Jeff’s community:
He’s smart and I completely respect his decision. I wish him well and thank him for such a great contribution to his “little corner of the Internet”. Well done Sir.
This is a great site for people that like to tinker with Python, Django, Web Services or just about anything.
Following the rabbit hole of the StackExchange discussion thread about tabs versus spaces in Python.
If tabs are wrong, I don't want to be right.

James Hague:
"If you find yourself repeatedly putting down a technology, then take some time to actually learn and use it. All the jokes and snide remarks aside, Perl is tremendously useful. Ditto for PHP and Java and C++. Who wins, the person who has been slamming Java online for ten years or the author of Minecraft who just used the language and made tens of millions of dollars?
I’ve got a crush on Stephen Hargrove now. His blogging setup is wonderful.
