Ha, you can run Emacs from within eshell (though not `emacs -nw`). Real elispers use recursive editors though.

Bash's builtin getopts doesn't support --long-name args . Linux has a getopt command, but OS X's is limited. Perhaps I'll just use Python.

Shen is now going to be BSD licensed! Awesome!

I discovered Ansible's with_items today. It's great for removing duplication, and some modules (such as yum) even run faster with it!

LLVM is a big project (several hundred MiB for the git repo) and you can actually compare how fast different hosts are. GitHub is fast!

Playing with Gitorious, a F/OSS GitHub alternative. It's not quite as fast or polished as GitHub. Amused that my repo is 'wilfreds-evil'!

I'm simplifying several Python projects as I realise just how generally useful the pandas Dataframe data structure is.

Twitter:StatusNet, Facebook:Diaspora -- do decentralised services gain much traction today? The most recent success I can see is bittorrent.

Generally I try to push my changes to code upstream, but it's not really an option when I'm removing functionality (eg in Hubot scripts).

Emacs lisp, python, JS, Julia, C, C++, asm, and my own language Trifle. Diversity is a great way to grow. #code2014
