ttf2eot - Project Hosting on Google Code

Open source utility to convert ttf fonts to eot.

(eot, @font-face, truetype, ttf, webfonts)

Pandoc

Swiss Army knife of markup formats. I'm bookmarking this specifically because it can convert HTML into reST, which I've not seen before. That means it'll be incredibly useful for converting old docs into Sphinx.

PyCon 2009 wireless network report

Sean's report on the networking at PyCon 2009 is a great read — funny, and packed full of information. I've constantly amazed at the quality of the wifi at PyCon — conferences half PyCon's size usually make the network buckle. Folks running large conferences seem to have two choices when it comes to wifi: have it fail, or hire tummy.com. Simple.

QFT: “In short, if there’s a difference, it’s not the sex, it’s the sexism. Anyone who can’t acknowledge this is a bigot and a twit.”

These people are a cancer and must be destroyed.
