• Getopt::Lucid is a Perl module for command-line handling that seems to be as nice as anything I've come across. Must remember.

• I've been listening to Handcream for a Generation by Cornershop, and damn it's good.

• Did not catch the eclipse on Monday: clouds. Long weekend weather forecast: clouds. Weather during the 2012 transit of Venus, for which I built a Sunfunnel: clouds. Dios no me amo. Trying to decide whether to get excited about the latest clear sky prediction for tomorrow night, which shows things crapping out around 11pm. Right now, I'm thinking the local park (which is within walking distance). But oh, I want a chance at the Virgo galaxies this year...

• This Orgmode/Babel/Tangle/literate programming tutorial, found on Reddit, is absolutely awesome. I've known for a while I need to start using Babel/Tangle more, and this is just perfect.

• I recently came across Phabricator, an code review/hosting/bug tracking/all-in-one app open-sourced by Facebook. It looks incredible, both aesthetically and in capabilities, and I love -- LOVE -- any documentation that includes things like:

Write business rules.
Everyone loves business rules.
Keep an eye on suspicious interns.
Warns you about plotting and scheming.

I've installed it in a VM, and holy cow there's a lot going on under the hood. There are a lot of moving parts in this. I hope to spend more time with it, get to know it a bit better, and maybe start using it at $WORK.

• There is no better way to end the night than transitioning from a whole lot of New Pornographers to a whole lot of Pixies.
