Using Django formsets on a new section for a project at work I came across something I haven't considered before: adding new inline forms to a formset without reloading the page. Javascript was the obvious choice. Two pages required the functionality: one with six formsets, the other with one, which meant the solution needed to take into account formset prefixes. I found various solutions around the Internet, but all were outdated (lots of table based layouts!) or not generic enough (didn't deal with multiple formsets).

I recently gave Github's paid service a go when my vimrc ended up needing some passwords in it. While I'm a big fan of Github and what it's done for the Git community as a whole I just can't justify paying the £5 a month so I can use my vimrc at home, work and a few servers. Of course the downside is the loss of being able to quickly view code on the web, but as fate would have it Twitter came to my rescue within a couple of days via the sagely Joel Moss.

Diving into Gitalist there were a couple of surprises, least of all it's written in Perl. Perl?! That's a dead language right? (Unless you're slashdot). However playing around with the demo (guys, please up whatever server you're running that on, it's dire) was great, not to mention it looks really slick.
