The recently released Google Social Graph API was a bit of a wake-up call for me on the power and importance of microformats. So I've hacked together a quick implementation of XFN for the blogroll, and added a few rel=me links as well.

I'll follow this sometime soon with a post about how I implemented the XFN on a Django model.

I'm picky. And I'm sick of this blog's design. I'm going to redesign it again, and get rid of runs and scratchpad, since I don't use them any more.

  • git-issues: A distributed issue tracker built-in to Git.
  • I predicted this back in March--can't believe a solution has surfaced so soon. It makes so much sense to build in an issue tracker to a revision control system. Since you're working with the code, might as well track the issues in the same system and take advantage of the extra metadata. This is really cool (and as a bonus, it's written in Python) so I hope to see it really grow and flourish!
