The goal of Tidydoc is to make documentation organization easier. It makes it easy to add documents to a repository, give them the right names, put them into the right directories, and reorganize them a posteriori. Then it can generate a set of HTML pages to browse your documents and a BibTeX file to reference them. Every operation can be done through a Web interface if you are running a Web server, and/or through command line scripts. This allows documents to be uploaded remotely using scp or any other file transfer program. Tidydoc is written in Python in a spirit of flexibility and easy tweaking, but its default behavior should fit the needs of most people.

"When you are in a relationship, you want the other person to appreciate the things you like. It sounds superficial, but it's nice. We go shopping. But he likes it.

Even if you are a Giants fan like me, there are plenty of reasons to get excited about the Super Bowl. It's an excuse to drink beer, eat little cocktail weenies—and get great gadget deals.
HDTV
Alright, first thing's first—we need to talk HDTVs again. With the game looming, you may be thinking about an upgrade or, in some cases, your first HDTV set. In this economy, spending money is always an issue, but at this point, waiting for even cheaper HDTVs will probably keep you on the sidelines for a good long while. In the meantime, you are missing out on all the crystal-clear action. I mean, even The Simpsons are going high-def this year.
No worries though—retailers are busting out some great deals on HDTVs in anticipation of the Super Bowl crowd. Here are some examples:
• Westinghouse 32'' 1080p LCD HDTV for $364.99 (normally $564.99—use this rebate form).
• Samsung 40'' 1080p LCD HDTV for $1,108.83 plus free shipping and a $200 gift certificate to NFLShop.com (normally $1,699.99—use this gift certificate claim form. Valid through 1/31).
• Vizio 42'' 1080p Widescreen LCD HDTV (factory refurbished) for $589.97 (normally $999.99).
• Toshiba 42" 1080p LCD HDTV for $749 plus free shipping (normally $1,399. Use coupon code MMCHTV50 for $50 off).
• Toshiba Regza 46'' 1080p LCD HDTV for $999.99 plus free shipping (normally $1,499.99).
• Sharp Aquos 52" 1080p LCD HDTV for $1,250 plus free shipping (normally $2,099.99. Use coupon code MMCHTV50 for $50 off).
• Walmart's Super Bowl HDTV sale—$100 off/$100 Walmart gift card included (for example: 32'' Samsung for $498, 46'' Sony for $1,298).
If you decide to take advantage of these sales or any others you may have found through shopping comparison sites like PriceGrabber.com and Shopping.com, there are a few things you need to keep in mind. Most importantly, you need to know which HDTV is going to work for you and your budget. Our guide How to Choose and HDTV Like a Pro and the followup How To Buy and HDTV Today (Or Any Day) will give you all the information you need to make smart decisions.
It's a good idea to carry around a web-enabled cellphone to comparison shop in the store, or have a friend at a computer standing by. If they have an in-store pickup service, that could lead to even bigger savings—not to mention a guarantee to have your TV before the game on Sunday.
What To Watch Out For
As always, it's almost always a good idea to avoid pricey warranties, profit-heavy accessories like HDMI cables and unnecessary services offered in the store. There is a 99% chance you are getting screwed.
Don't fall for liquidation sales. You may feel that the demise of Circuit City presents an ideal opportunity to score some new gear for the game. The reality is, if you're not constantly cross-checking those supposedly slashed prices, quite the opposite may be true.
It Isn't All About the TV
The Super Bowl isn't just about a big HDTV. It's about people getting together, getting drunk and yelling at that HDTV.

Now get out there and enjoy the game. And I would like to take this opportunity to say that the last six weeks or so of the Giant's season made me want to puke. If I wanted to see a team look like crap, I would go back to a standard-def TV.

/Film reader "PWH" attended an early screening for the sports drama David O. Russell's The Fighter, and says the film will be an awards contender. The film tells the story of Dicky Eklund (Christian Bale), a real life boxer-turned-trainer who rebounded after a run of drugs and crime.
Shepherded his half-brother "Irish" Micky Ward (Mark Wahlberg), Dicky had a Rocky-like rise to the world lightweight championship. Ward fought throughout the mid-'80s and '90s, but he's best remembered for three battles with Arturo Gotti, two of which went down as the greatest in the history of the sport. Amy Adams plays "a tough, gritty bartender and former college high-jumper" who ends up dating Wahlberg's character.
The Fighter doesn't yet have a release date (but is expected to hit theaters in late 2010), so I assume that that it is a very early cut of the film without final cuts, sound mix or score. ...

Happy Friday, dirty ape enthusiasts: New York Magazine is reporting that Fox's supposedly dead "Planet of the Apes" reboot is still on.
George Clooney won't let Kanye be in his telethon, Kanye ruins everything. Tara Reid gets engaged to a mysterious "billionaire." Michael Lohan abandons a puppy. Diddy's kid turns Super Sweet 16 on MTV. Thursday gossip has daddy issues.
- Kanye West's reputation precedes him: George Clooney's telethon is going out of its way to keep him out. "After what he said on the Katrina telethon and the way he behaved at the MTV Video Music Awards, everyone agrees it's just best that he does not participate," said a producer. "Kanye has to make everything about himself. He will do anything to steal the spotlight, and, well, this night it's just not about him." Aw, you're going to make him cry again. He just needs a little Ritalin, is all. [NBN]
- Tara Reid got engaged to her German boyfriend, Michael Axtmann. He's supposed to be a billionaire internet entrepreneur, but then why, I ask, isn't he in the Forbes billionaire list? Unless he's inheriting it from someone with a different last name, or earned it all since the start of 2010, which, between that and the engagement, would be a pretty strong start to the new year. Anyway, they're a cute couple, [fig.1] billions or not. [People] [Forbes]
- Heidi Montag's plastic surgeon is mad that she claims she almost died from drug complications, "like Michael Jackson," because she did not. That's the price of using a body dysmorphic 23-year-old as your Galatea, doc: They're unreliable. [Popeater]
- Diddy is throwing a massive party for son Justin's sixteenth "b'day" on Saturday. (I hate it when people spell it with an apostrophe, because then I pronounce it "bidet" and can't get jetstreaming bathroom appliances out of my head.) It'll be on MTV's My Super Sweet 16, which is a pretty big get, since that show's usually just Orange County brats feigning at fame. Snoop Dogg and Lil' Kim are coming, with donations to Haiti in lieu of gifts, which changes the premise of the teenage-greed-baiting show entirely, but since it's Diddy, you know the kid will get a Bentley or something anyway. [P6]
- Lydia Hearst, socialite and Playboy model, is leaving New York and moving to L.A. for pilot season to become a star—emboldened, perhaps, by a recent cameo on Gossip Girl. Anyway, this will be a fun transformation to follow. She's bringing boyfriend Ryan Cabrera along for the ride, which is funny, because I always thought that relationship was a sham. I guess I have a hard time imagining anyone dating ol' porcupine head in earnest. [P6]
- Speaking of Gossip Girl: They just landed its first Baldwin. Billy will play Serena van der Woodsen's long-absent father, who will make a valiant return to New York, hopefully to disrupt ex-wife Lily van der Woodsen's domestic bliss, because we all know Lily can't be caged. [P6]
- Charlie Sheen wife/victim Brooke Mueller was hospitalized for pneumonia; a judge temporarily lifted her grant of protection against her husband so he could be visit her sickbed. The duo wants the order removed permanently, but it hasn't happened yet. This story is so hard to watch. [NYDN]
- Hooray, Nicolas Cage only owes $14 million to the IRS, now! [P6]
- More evidence that Alec Baldwin and Tina Fey are Jack Donaghy and Liz Lemmon in real life, too: Alec is co-hosting the Oscars this year, and he apparently got Tina her first-ever presenter gig there. [NBN second item]
- A-Rod's got a "new mystery blonde," but how do we know it isn't the same old "mystery blonde," without pictures to compare and contrast? They rode around Miami Beach on a yacht together; he ripped off his shirt and worked on his tan, but she kept her sweater and jeans on. Then he went to a meal with 25-year-old Elaine Spottswood, who is blonde but not a mystery, since we saw her without her pants on, once. [NYDN]
- Michael Lohan left his pet dog at the vet for ten days, rendering it "abandoned." This man has no paternal instincts whatsoever, does he? [TMZ]
- Jessica Alba got "70 percent" of her home furnishing off Craigslist. Must've been weird for the sellers when Jessica Alba showed up to take that old futon off their hands. [Popeater]
- The Harlam Globetrotters' rival, the Washington Generals, tried to recruit Conan O'Brien for their team. Pioneered first by the porn industry, the stunt job offer PR gambit appears to have migrated to the mainstream. [TMZ]
- Jennifer Lyon, who placed fourth on Survivor: Palau, died at home in Oregon after a battle with breast cancer. She was 37, and fundraised for breast cancer research until the end of her life. [People]

US, December 12, 2008 - The PlayStation 3, prior to the advent of sub-$300 Blu-ray players, was regarded as one of the cheapest and value-added ways of getting Blu-ray technology into your home. Despite the competitive price drops in standalone players, the PlayStation 3 remains an incredible value by offering users the ability to view and play high-definition videogames and multimedia content, all in one piece of hardware. Regardless of where your gaming allegiances lie, there is no contesting the fact that the PlayStation 3 is a multimedia powerhouse.
