After reading PEP 342 [2010-01] i goofed around with simple generators, I guess

v = "START"
c = 0
while 1:
v = yield (v, c)
c += 1

[2010-01] reddit fib thread cralwer, probably broken now
#!/usr/bin/env python
# Because I was unable to find the root of the Fibbonachi sequence post
# chain in the original story comments (it was nowhere to be found!) I made
# this little hacky script to go back, post by post, until it reache a post
# with no parent. For fun, it displays the users and values as it goes.
# The value isn't always accurate, but that doesn't really matter.
# The result of this (which didn't take very long) it stopped, not very
# far back, because someone deleted a post. Huh. Irritating.

[2010-01] I guess I liked some tech talks with LOLCATs.
After seeing LOLCATs mentioned in two Google Tech Talks, I decided I should start
making note of each time it happens. Because, you know, it's going to happen _all
of the time_, no doubt.
