Just added markdown support via mistune. Will be adding support for inline Python codeblocks soon so that I can write about Python things. But for now

hello world

If you haven't seen "Ex Machina" yet then I highly suggest you give it a watch. The film is a sci-fi thriller that explores the potentially destructive consequences of artificial intelligence. Seriously, go watch it... specifically on DVD.

Why DVD? Well, the film itself is great, but if 90 minutes of entertainment is what you're after then all you are going to need is the DVD menu screen. A true achievement in the medium, the DVD menu screen features a serene animation of particles floating through space, periodically connecting to one another, like synapses in the aether. Hyperbole aside, I watched it for about 20 minutes.

In fact, I was so taken with the effect that I decided to try to recreate it in Python!

Here is the result, as well as the source.

And just like that, my first screen-saver.

Some of ya'll have been asking me for access to my little ToDo tool. Well, here it is!

This took a lot longer than I anticipated as implementing accounts and access and stuff in django was harder for me than I care to admit.

Anywho, check it out, it doesn't do much, but it is super lightweight and focused. There are still a couple of bugs that I have yet to iron out, but nothing a page refresh doesn't fix. Happy tasking!

Happy New Year. Not drinking coffee is way easier than I thought! But why?
