Fin­ish­ing Day 2, here's the up­date.

• Woke up 10 time be­­cause David Lit­­vak does­n't know how to turn off his alar­m. Now hat­ing "Good Day Sun­shine" by The Bea­t­les. Sor­ry Ringo!

• Learned about Cel­ery/Flask/Jug­ger­­naut. To­­mor­row will try to hack on the Niko­la serv­er idea us­ing that. Hugo Rus­c­it­ti al­ready did a lot of work!

• Helped Martín Gaitán do Niko­la gallery im­prove­­ments (look­ing much nicer now!)

• Im­­ple­­men­t­ed code list­ings for Niko­la

• Had a huge spi­der walk up my leg.

• Had asa­­do for din­n­er!

• Played with re­­mote con­trolled cars.

• Saw a guy jug­­gle while rid­ing a mono­­cy­­cle

• Played in the ping pong tour­­na­­ment (record 1-1, out in the group phase)

• Fixed a bunch of bugs that popped while im­­ple­­men­t­ing stuff.

To­mor­row: will hack all day in the niko­la host­ing idea.

This is a new fea­ture in Niko­la, my stat­ic web­site and blog gen­er­a­tor.

It's aimed at show­ing pieces of files in the post­s, and giv­ing you a link to the full file, does rea­son­able syn­tax high­light thanks to pyg­ments, and the syn­tax for em­bed­ding in your posts is not ex­ces­sive­ly aw­ful, so I can use it for some of my tu­to­ri­al / book project­s.

Here's an ex­am­ple:

.. listing:: md.py python
   :start-at: def compile_html
   :end-before: output =

This is not merged in­to mas­ter yet, but should be soon.

Go­ing to sleep, so here's a quick run­down of my 1st day at Py­cam­p:

• Woke up at 6AM, and af­ter tak­ing train­s, bus­es and au­­to­­mo­­biles, ar­rived around noon. Place is nice, wheather is cold. Beds are bunks.

• Pre­sen­t­ed ideas, vot­ed work­ing slots

• Im­­ple­­men­t­ed a Niko­la fea­­ture to get themes from http://­­bootswatch.­­com

• Im­­ple­­men­t­ed first draft of pipe­­lines for post-pro­cess­ing gen­er­at­ed files

• Martín Gaitán is work­ing on im­prov­ing the im­age gal­­leries

• Hugo Rus­c­it­ti is do­ing some cel­ery+flask mag­ic to cre­ate a Niko­la host­ing ser­vice

• Had fun with lots of oth­­er things and talk­ing with a lot of peo­­ple.

• Played some ta­ble ten­­nis (won 1, lost 1)

• Got a fire­­fox t-shirt

• Got a Nin­­ja-IDE mug that changes colour with tem­per­a­­ture.

Now, ex­haust­ed, go­ing to bed.

Last sat­ur­day I at­tend­ed the 2nd Buenos Aires Chili Cookof­f. Lots of peo­ple, lots of great food. I was with my kid and he can't eat any­thing that spicy, but hey, there were cook­ies :-)

I had lit­tle ex­pe­ri­ence with Chili, be­cuase it's not ex­act­ly a com­mon dish around here, so, sur­prised by the va­ri­ety, and most were quite nice, and de­spite ex­haus­tive warn­ings by the cook­s, none was uned­i­bly spicy (the dread­ed Zom­bie Chili which promised to melt my mouth? Kin­da sweet and bland.)

Favourite? Lafit­te's re­venge, which re­al­ly was a sort of bean-free bour­guignon. Al­so, the smoked veg­gie chili was quite awe­some. And the cook­ies were killer­s!

Next year, my wife is talk­ing about cook­ing for it. I have had her chili, and I trust she can do bet­ter than 80% of the con­tes­tants this year. Plus I get to be­ta test her recipes, so win/win for me.
