Emacsattaci -- finally, a home for abandoned packages http://t.co/8vwDqU83 . I often end up grabbing useful things from http://t.co/Oln5lPop

Excited to see Rust maturing. 0.5 has a REPL!
Wow, even Windows doesn't distribute DVD decoders by default any more. Open formats are so important.
Awesome git command of the day: `git tag --list | sort --version-sort`. Sort is clever.
