Django 1.7 is out! Many nice little features added, such as JsonResponse:
miniblog.
Hilarious discussion on r/Emacs where vim is highlighting *elisp* better than Emacs itself! http://t.co/ZbQ6zViv6S (see screenshot)
Emacs command of the day: eshell-life-is-too-much. Kills eshell. Many Emacs commands are quirky but fantastically memorable.
Really nifty tool for browsing git history on Emacs: git-timemachine!

I'm really enjoying the book A Retargetable C Compiler: Design and Implementation but reading pre-ANSI C is *weird*.
MELPA lists an impressive 12 backends for company-mode. I'm considering switching.
Why would you use `do { .... } while (0)` in C?: http://t.co/34h3evCees

"Wish driven development"
I'm slowly realising how big plan9's influence is on Go. Go has a custom assembler syntax and calling convention: http://t.co/8AHuCJZaWF
Learnt a fascinating, non-obvious (to me) fact that resizing a vector's memory by a factor of 2 is optimally bad
I'm excited about the release of Emacs 24.4, but I think the bzr->git migration is equally exciting.
