Conservative Judaism on Wikipedia

Now don’t get me wrong I love Wikipedia. I appreciate the breadth and general freedom of the whole project and the ease with which people can contribute and collaborate. That being said, I am very displeased with the progress of the articles in the Conservative Judaism series. I’ve been tagging and editing things like mad [ READ MORE ]

New Software!

For those of you who haven’t noticed, I’m a bit of a geek. As such, the past few days have been for me, a flurry of excitement. First off, the release of Firefox 2.0 has brought tons of new features.

It also talk about the recent 15 percent finding cut issued by President [ READ MORE ]

LugRadio Bingo

Inspired by the LugRadio Drinking Game, I have taken the liberty of creating a Python CGI app to render bingo boards for LugRadio. Bascially, you go to this page and print out a board. Everytime a word on your board is mentioned, you mark it off. First person to get five in a consecutive row [ READ MORE ]

Pre-Shabbos Code Dump

Ok so this code actually works. I’ve created a Python module to represent and then generate Dublin Core compliant metadata. You can get the HTML source, the pydoc generated documentation and the epydoc generated documentation. You can also grab the plain Python source and of course (drum roll) the metadata for the source[ READ MORE ]
