I've been enjoying "datawave" which a subgenre of synth music that has a pretty strong tech/retro-future vibe.

Datassette, who put together the Music For Programming site, shows up a lot on the playlists.

That's really interesting - according to this presentation JGit clone is significantly faster than native git clone (2.3x in the example).

I'd love to hear more about any code changes that lead to this result.

Hey, I'm one of the guys who built WhoShouldiFollow. Glad the recommendations are working out for you.

The Twitter API rate-limiting makes things harder, but as a whitelisted app we haven't (yet) run into any situations where we've hit our quota or get throttled in any way.

It sounds like Alex is working on a new method to retrieve a users followers/friends in bulk which should help out a lot: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/msg/...
