I’ve been banned from the /r/progressive subreddit due to “multiple user reports.” I’ve never posted nor commented on that subreddit, as best as I can tell from searching my own account history. Lol.

The Guardian makes subscribing fun
After I left Twitter, I decided to start paying for news. So I subscribed to The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Guardian. (And I've been subscribed to Talking Points Memo for about five years.) I'm enjoying paying for journalism and being better informed.

Changing my PyCon badge
Since registering for PyCon 2017 back during the early bird registration, I've changed jobs and stopped using Twitter. Here's my classy fix to the badge.

I've left Twitter. I can no longer tolerate their arbitrary rules that favor the powerful and the fraudulent.
M-x Twit && PyCon
If you use Emacs and Twitter, give TwitteringMode a try. It won't replace your favorite client, but you can easily follow a list without leaving Emacs and do most things (reply, RT, etc.) with it. No image posting, but it can optionally display avatars. Just registered for PyCon 2015. Yee haw!
Lots cookin’
My work is going well. We released a substantial pre-alpha of our product, and the first reactions are positive. I can't say more than that, except to say that we're now in a slog to reach the next release, which, if all goes well, will be somewhere between an alpha and a beta. Time will … Continue reading Lots cookin’
