A minimalist implementation of protocol buffers in C.

Python bindings for the Sundown Markdown parser.

A high-speed jQuery templating language.

Looks like a good alternative to using Tomboy.

Flot is a pure Javascript plotting library for jQuery.

This is similar to A/B testing, but its aims and practice aren’t the same.

I want to learn this came so that I can get those bloody achievements in FO:NV. The in-game explanation didn’t click with me at all.

A one-hour lecture by Alan Kay. Very much worth watching, but the formats its available in (Realplayer, Flash, bleh) are annoying.

I want to patch this to fix some annoyances I have with its local vs remote delivery handling.

Python library for keyring management. Thinking of using it to build a small app for password management to replace the encrypted text file I’ve been using. Might be overkill though.

netcat++!

Nice, self-contained wiki engine that uses Mercurial as a storage backend. Looks ideal for running a notes wiki shared between my machines. The only other major dependency is Werkzeug, with Pygments being a nice-to-have extra if installed. The markup language is Creole 1.0.
