I am quite fascinated by the power of Micro-blogging and mining it for revealing insights. Towards that end I started looknig at tweepy. But could not get aptitude to install anything more than version 1.7 from 2010. The latest version was 3.0. So after trying many things using easy_install, pip and apt-get commands I finally did the unthinkable! I downloaded using wget the version 2.3 which I had read on stackoverflow had built-in oAuth support and everything worked fine.
List of versions:
https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/t/tweepy/
Example code:

Some inspiring work:

Working with CouchDB is quite interesting:

Initially I was unable to access the cloud instance of CouchDB admin UI called Futon from my local host. I read this article which mentions that in /etc/couchdb/default.ini the bind_address variable must be modified from 127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.0

It would be nice to see what people say about 'Cisco' during CES 2015 (#CES2015) which is between Jan 6th-9th 2015 in Las Vegas...
