The basic idea is the same as a presentation I gave earlier in Amsterdam. And I do have a summary of that one.
My presentation is online at http://speakerdeck.com/u/reinout/p/explicit-developer-laptop-automation
https://github.com/reinout/tools/ has some of the content. Look at the readme files in the subdirectories.

My name is Reinout van Rees and I program in Python, I live in the Netherlands, I cycle recumbent bikes and I have a model railway.
