When muxtape went down, the joke went “… and that is the sound of a million hackers writing their own open-source clones.” It’s a little true - several released in short order. And, when including the dozens of free mixtape websites, the market is seemingly cornered.
I’d like to introduce moxie.

bzrshelve, a punchline to a bad joke
The joke has been long coming.
Back when I was still on reddit, a short meme hit where someone wrote a little hack that made frontpage. The title is what must have sold it, as there wasn’t any there - there.

A few days later, of course, [...]

Happy Key Revocation Tuesday
Almost one month ago, Florian Weimer on behalf of the Debian Security Team announced one of the worst security vulnerabilities in recent history.

The challenge from Denver.

Don't drink and Skype, pt. 1
After I thought the Skype drunk-dialing idea up, I debated with myself as to whether it was witty or fun enough to actually execute.

Initial progress with Red Arrow to Paste
I stripped the WebStack based CGI and HTTPServer deployment scripts. In their place, I used WebStack’s WSGI adapter to provide a Paste application factory entry point. This means I replaced ~100 lines of code with a four line configuration file.
