Firefox bookmark for ZCA reference lookup !

Last week, Kent Tenney send me a cool Firefox trick for ZCA reference lookup.
His suggestions helped me to improve English style and usage in that book (Thanks Kent!).
With this cool trick you can go to a reference section just typing 'zca ' follwed by the word all in small letters.

I am quoting his message as such:


I just created a Firefox bookmark with the following properties:

Name: Zope Component Architecture
Location: http://www.muthukadan.net/docs/zca.html#%s
Keywork: zca

Now, when I type in the Firefox location bar:
zca getadapter

I'm taken to the reference for that method.

Handy!


Kent, I reused this nice trick for another purpose also :)
To render reST page as HTML you can create a bookmark like this:


Name: reST to HTML
Location: http://api.rst2a.com/1.0/rst2/html?uri=%s&style=zope
Keywork: r2h


Thanks to rst2a.com team ! Now whenever I see a reST file online, I just prefix it with 'rst ',
this gives me a nice HTML page !

Text below is for my Kerala friends:

എല്ലാ കേരളീയര്‍ക്കും എന്റെ കേരളപ്പിറവി ആശംസകള്‍ !

Some thoughts on Python 3 adoption

IMHO, every Python community member should try to promote Python 3. I know there are criticisms about Python 3 -- whatever it is, " Python 3 is the present and future of the language ". Constructive criticisms should be welcomed and that should lead to better Python 3.x releases. As a community member what we can do to promote Python 3 ? I am looking forward to your thoughts on this.  Please write your comments here or you can write it in your blog and leave a link here. Before giving any new suggestions, let me check what are the small things that I have tried. In the beginning of 2011, I have created a website with the help of other community members to increase the adoption of Python 3 by collecting issues in a central location.  That idea didn't worked well, then I dropped that project. I have given a lightning talk about that project during PyCon 2011 in Atlanta . I have tried to use Python 3 for my personal projects and written blogs about my experience . ...

Ugadi, Weekend, Office, Zope 3, Buildout

I thought just to write something now. Today is Ugadi [1], a few days back only I heard this word. This is a festival in Karnataka and some other parts of Deccan region of India. I am from Kerala [2], we have a similar festival coming up in next month called Vishu [3] . So happy Ugadi to all ! . Today is leave for my company [4], so we got 3 days consecutive leave. I could have gone to my home, but for some reason I postponed it to next week. One reason is that my wife's final year exam is starting today, so I though let she study :) Remember my last post about Zope 3 [5], I wrote there that Zope 3 is evolving. Today morning I came to office to explore Zope 3 and Buildout. (I don't yet have a laptop, so office is the only place where I can do some coding) I am sitting alone in this big office now, oh! what a silence !! Today I manged to run a Zope 3 application solely from egg [6] Oh! I cannot write anymore, I think I am feeling loneliness now. Hmm.. better to go to ...
