Python Party in Ruby
Last month, a lengthy discussion kicked off on Ruby-Talk called “Why not adopt Python style indentation for Ruby?” .. it wasn’t anything particularly new, because a similar discussion occurred six years ago. Nevertheless, a coder called Jinjing has been inspired to create Lazibi, a Ruby pre-processor to allow one to use Python style indentation within Ruby code.

Why not just adopt Python altogether? 
So close and yet so far.
Firefox Bug on Long Tooltips
The true test of Geekdom is whether you can read a bug report on a Saturday evening and find great humor in it. Here is your chance:
Bug 45375 – SeaMonkey-only bug: Long tooltips should wrap instead of being cropped (multiline tooltips)
Look for such “celebrity” appearances as the “xkcd” guy and others. My favorite part, is the bug reporter chiming in each year to wish the bug happy birthday, though there is an inconsistency when he changes the gender of the bug along the way. Maybe I should file a bug on the bug report?
