We're making progress on an Emacs-specific Stack Exchange site! It now needs people to commit to using it: http://t.co/qjgCoKwwiC

Smartparens is another of those projects where the dedication and quality of the work by the maintainer regularly impresses me.

Clearly, the mistake I've been making in my webdesign is not using the colour blue. A remarkable number of major sites are primarily blue.

Gradually rewriting my first ever Django website, written in 2010. Happy to report I've improved a lot!

.@CoverallsApp looks like you have some encoding issues when showing UTF-8 files:

Use Python? Use Emacs? I've just released a major-mode for pip requirements files! https://github.com/Wilfred/pip-requirements.el (Coming soon to MELPA too!)

I can't believe I haven't installed virtualenvwrapper before. I already had great completion in zsh, but workon's tab completion is perfect.

I've found some cases where helm works for me! I prefer the preserved screen-estate of ido in many cases.
