Snake charming via Test Driven Development:
"Test-driven development (TDD) is a software development process that
relies on the repetition of a very short development cycle: first the
developer writes a failing automated test case that defines a desired
improvement or new function, then produces code to pass that test and
finally refactors the new code to acceptable standards.".
Vaughan Allan:

Garden"
"A prominent interest in languages and patterns, web frameworks,
cluster computing and functional programming. A big fan of AppEngine
and all things Google. Specialties: Java, Perl, Python/Django, C/C++,
ColdFusion, Javascript/XML/AJAX/DHTML, Groovy/Grails, Erlang,
Distributed Systems..."
