After seeing the sublime plugin (https://github.com/jisaacks/GitGutter) and getting a little jealous I decided to write my own version for vim. Still in beta status, and sadly not async - but that's on the roadmap to being fixed.
Worked on this at $dayjob, and we open sourced it yesterday.
Initial driving requirements were:
* Use as part of proof-of-concept testing with a 3rd party memcache proxy that speaks only the binary protocol
* Work well with darner/kestral queues and nosql datastores (via proxies like couchbas...

I've already posted a story about a Python news aggregator I've built with Django:

Now, after the story hit the front page of Hacker News and I got positive reactions from the mentions in the "What are you doing this weekend" threa...

If anyone knows why firefox dies.. I would love to know :D
I hacked this together last night after trying a number of time-tracking/Pomodoro apps and realizing I disliked all of them and could just make one that fits my style. The goals for the tool are: _simplicity_, a _command-line interface_, and an optional plaint-text logging format that lends itself s...
So I've been working on a Lobsters iPhone app over the past day or so and I think I'm going to turn it into a full blown app. I've been working with jcs to get a basic JSON API going that I can build this on top of and we've already got a basic version working that lets you browse links on the front...

Check out my side project [https://domainregret.com/]. This is a marketplace for when you have domains you've been sitting on for a while that totally sounded like a good idea at 2am and you were a tad bit drunk but now you're not so certain. I'm trying to work out the kinks and get some feedback!
I was [asked to link](https://lobste.rs/s/pu55v6/ask_lobsters_what_are_you_working_on/comments/s4457f) when I finished my book project; printing took a couple weeks longer than expected. I'll write up a more technical blog post and leave a link as a comment here in a few days, but the high-level ver...

Readable.cc is open-source (...
Still very alpha... developed during a Startup Weekend event.
