I stumbled across “Dammit I’m Mad” by Demetri Martin, a rumored-to-be 224 word palindrome poem.
I was impressed, but needed to check the accuracy of such a statement. So I dialed up a python session.

Evil is a deed as I live.
God, am I reviled? I rise, my bed [...]
Although I’ve been enamored with Python for the last 13 or so months, I’ve often dreamt longingly for days of Java glory. Things from the past seem so desirable at times — IDEs with good code completion and integrated debugging, staticly-typed compiler hand-holding, mature application servers and deployment tools. There was never much [...]
I’m going to PyCon 2009! I’ll be there with a few other guys from work. We’re flying in Wednesday night, taking a tutorial on Thursday, and trying to have a little fun throughout the weekend.
If you’re like me, you’ve got a few friends on Twitter, but most others are hesitant to make the jump. Hell, I had a hard enough time convincing them (and myself really) to join Facebook. So what fun would it be if there weren’t any drunk pictures floating around, but rather just a [...]

We generally preach that you should not use real data in your unit tests. You should instead mock said data out in an effort to lesson potential side-effects, including degrading test performance and adversely affecting live data.
Sometimes, you’d like to test actual file handling in a unit test. If you do, you should [...]
After pulling most of my hair out, I realized a simple mistake in my Python regular expression usage. I had been trying to search a simple HTML document for some text, which happened to be broken across a newline such as:

A new list of the most dangerous programming mistakes was released today by SANS Institute. This is a great followup to the OWASP Top 10. The list of potential application security flaws is broken up into three sections, one for dealing with each of application component interaction, resource management, and weak defenses.
