Here's a little link list with tools I found when looking for something to "massage" my GPX files from a Garmin GPSmap and the very good QLandkarteGT

• GpxSplitter nice little tool to split GPX file with several tracks into individual files with one track each
• PyTopo/Ellie for interactive map & gpx display in offline mode (with downloaded maps). From the README "PyTop is an application for exploring maps using local data.".
• gpxmgr is unmaintained and superceeded by PyTopo/Ellie above

As I'm still looking for a good presentation tooling I wanted to share the references for web technology based tools. Unfortunately neither S5 from Eric Meyer nor the greatly improve S5 Reloaded version is developed any further.

Links:

• jQuery based S6: new S5 successor
• S5 from Eric Meyer
• S5 Reloaded

Google groups:

• http://groups.google.com/group/s5project/
• http://groups.google.com/group/webslideshow

Besides my favorite reST format I gained some interest in using markdown in certain sitatuation because of it's simplier syntax and wider availablity.

XBeta Wiki has a nice overview with links to various implementations and bindings.

So far I've looked into (and partially extended):

• libupskirt
• sundwon
• discount

with "sundown" being a fork of "libupskirt" with additional features and a somewhat different scope.

There are two AFAIK that allow to setup very simple servers for up- and download to your local machine. This is not meant to serve high-volume data but to rather quickly provide or exchange files with someone.

My I introduce: Droopy and quickserve. Obviously someone else found this already as well. Check out this little comparison.

I don't know how I could have overlooked this GREAT tool for so long: autokey provides me with a python based keyboard macro automation for linux. This reproduces parts of the functionality that AutoHotkey provides me with under Window$.

"drawback" (well, not really): under windows I used "#" as an abbreviation start character, this seems not to work for autokey - "," serves as an alternative!!

Here the reference on rrfx from where I initially got it.

As an Mono/C# alternative one can look at IronAHK which strives to be a more complete replacement for AutoHotkey

pepe was a python pre-processor that was missing conditionals and some more.

PyExpander could be an alternative to provide more full-feature pre-processing support.

The project Madagascar has a nice article about Reproducible computational experiments using SCons. This could extend the concpets described in my blog entry regrading writing/programming experiments.

going from v0.9.0302 (Feb-2011) to v0.9.1104 (Nov-2011):

• setup new virtual env and create inital site
• update local_settings.py
• copy other media data
• migrate DB: see also 1 2
  • ./manage.py syncdb
  • ./manage.py migrate reversion 0001 --fake
  • ./manage.py migrate reversion
  • ./manage.py migrate pylucid 0001 --fake
  • ./manage.py migrate pylucid

Primarily Pandoc evaluates the possibility to write everything in a Pandoc input format and translate it from there into LaTeX and others. This input format could easily be reST.
