It seemed like every time I switched over to the Galaxy opening game (during commercials in the Dodger Coliseum game) the Colorado Rapids had scored another goal. Not the best start to the season, but maybe it was just the altitude.

While I’m at it planning movie marathons for next year, March 31, 1999, was the release date of The Matrix, thus 2009 will be its 10th anniversary. I think I’ll have to do a mini-marathon and watch the trilogy on 3/31/09, sort of an appetizer for the big honkin’ AvP marathon in May.
Just showing up in my feeds from Yahoo Sports World Soccer coverage:

David Villa scored a stunning left-foot volley to give perennial under-achievers Spain a morale-boosting 1-0 victory over Spain here on Wednesday.
They got the headline right, but I think somebody was so shocked about the result, they gave Spain the victory and the loss. ;)

Via RootPrompt comes this IBM developerWorks article on “Using Python to create UNIX command line tools”. I’ve been experimenting with Python off-and-on for a while now, and what I’ve seen so far I love. Thanks to Noah Gift for the, as he describes it, “command line interface manifesto.”
Can you write a command line tool? Maybe you can, but can you write a really good command line tool? This articles covers making a robust command line tool in Python, complete with built-in help menus, error handling, and option handling. For some strange reason, it is not widely known that the standard library in Python® has all of the tools necessary to make incredible powerful *NIX command line tools.
Arguably, Python is the best language for making *NIX command line tools, period, due to its batteries-included philosophy, and its emphasis on readable code. Just a warning, though; these are dangerous ideas, when you find out how easy it is to create a command line tool in Python, you might be spoiled for life. To my knowledge, there has never been an article published in this detail on creating command line tools in Python, so I hope you enjoy it.
