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.
Edit: See this updated post for enhancements
This is for all of you Markdown and plain text nerds out there. You’re my people.
I’ve been tinkering with a simplified mechanism for posting to this site. Most of my posts are started in Simplenote. If it’s a long post then I’ll work in BBEdit but the document still resides in my Simplenote/NVAlt/Dropbox folder1. When I’m done with a post, I’ll preview it in Marked and copy the html.
Pretty much what the title says. It's a Python module for sending Growl messages.
I'm pretty sure DrDrang spends his free time exactly how I like to imagine. Like this.
That makes me happy.
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.
Web browsers have advanced nearly to the state where a web application can feel like a desktop application. Much of this is a result of advanced JavaScript engines in modern browsers. I think we can all agree, theses changes have been good for the experience. But one particular area that is suffering is generic search.
I use DevonAgent for more sophisticated searches. It’s a surgical tool for finding a needle in a haystack.
You know, this is the first time I think I actually understand decorators. I'm kind of dense.
By way of Clark's Tech Blog.
Ruby 1.9 looks pretty fast. Ok, ok, maybe it is time to focus some time on Ruby.
What’s more odd to me, is that Apple has dropped the PyObjC support but gave AppleScript a giant boost with Cocoa-AppleScript. Don’t get me wrong, I like AppleScript fine, but it sure isn’t as flexible as Python or Ruby[1].
Anyway, if your thinking about making any AppleScript-Cocoa projects, here’s a very good tutorial over at MacScripter.
UPDATE: There are also great resources over at MacAutomation.com, including what looks like a good book.
