The following code generates a dictionary of all key/value in a configuration file.
import ConfigParser
config = {}
cp = ConfigParser.ConfigParser()
cp.read('test.cnf')
for section in cp.sections():
config[section] = dict(cp.items(section))
print config['section1']['key1']

In an attempt to have the best programming environment setup, I ordered the Das Keyboard ultimate.
I simply love the mechanical sound it makes.
BTW, VIM+Python rocks 
Soon a post of what I have done to improve my Python coding with VIM.

So apparently my development machine would be a Linux box and since I spend most of the time at work, Marsedit and Mac wont work. Did a quick search for blog editors for Linux and Google threw up this link. Considering I now use Firefox instead of Safari, a FF blog editor plugin seems to make sense. Anyway, my FF is open 100% of the time so its just a matter of pressing F8 and writing.

Finally, I used Python enough to provide my own recipe.

Job well done!

I am not sure if I got my readers acquainted with the fact that I am getting my first (and probably my only tattoo) on my whole back. Design can be found here.
I already have had 7 sessions with 4 more to go and with every session I have learnt a new trick to reduce the pain of the process. Here are the things I recommend:
- Eat food.
- Upload all your loud music on your iPod.
- Blast music in your ears while the tattoing is done. Loud music will take your mind off the pain.
- Do open mouth loud breathing. You might look like a dick but trust me, it helps a lot by relaxing your muscles.
BTW, for anybody in Iowa City, I am getting my tattoo done by the excellent artist Scott Warren aka Scotty at Nemesis Studio.
