A lot has started since I posted last, and it's past time I update the blogosphere on what's what. A new job has gotten my hopes for awesome architecture too far up to be healthy. A formal education is crawling back into my long-term goal set. A new project has plagued my thoughts without end! It's chaos and drama at their finest here in the land of asthmatic doves.

While learning Pylons, I found myself digging into the documentation of a few different tools that come packaged with it. FormEncode has so far been the most intriguing. I ended up digging into the code, and found a hidden gem. I've also got a few improvement ideas to toss around, in the form of oh-so-tender beef.
