After being frustrated with both OptParse and ArgParse, I have settled on DocOpt. DocOpt is a great Python library for command line options. I will attempt to use it and only it. I just updated rename to use it.

Sublime Text 3 is the best code editor I have ever used. When I cannot use it at work, I really notice it. Multiple cursor feature alone is worth the cost. Great software! Many excellent plugins! Start with this excellent free tutorial http://code.tutsplus.com/courses/perfect-workflow-in-sublime-text-2.
Converted all of the vacation pictures to use foundation. All vacation pictures pages are now responsive.

Converted this site's search functionality to use: Foundation, Flask, and jQuery. So far in my limited experience, I prefer Foundation to Bootstrap. Flask is a nice lightweight Python web microframework. http://willhaley.com/blog/flask-on-bluehost is an excellent blog post about running Flask on bluehost.

Last week I attended Python Fundamentals, at Marakana, it was an outstanding introduction to the Python programming language. I had done some Python studying (1 book and 1 online course) on my own, but Python Fundamentals brought it all together nicely. Simeon Franklin is an excellent instructor. I hope to return for the advanced Python course someday.
