One night in a fit of frustration with his debugging tools, snare hacked up a few hundred lines of python to make his life easier. Thus began the saga of Voltron. 10000-odd lines of code, a few complete rewrites, a vast quantity of Kraken, and a number of pub-hacking sessions with richo later, and his dream of an extensible console debugger UI has been realised. In this talk snare will take a quick tour of Voltron, demonstrate how to extend it for your own evil purposes, and hopefully convince a few people to use it and contribute to it. There will also be a limited number of free hugs available.
