I was talking a little with Daniel Krech (author of rdflib) about Semantic Web stuff and microformats and what they all mean. And he was saying that microformats were nice, because you could do something with them, but it would be nice to see that generalized.
By “generalized” I think …
Doing stuff with the Atom Publishing Protocol, I’ve noticed that it goes by two (shortened) names: APP and Atompub. I’d become used to calling it APP, but I’ve decided to make a conscious effort to call it Atompub from now on, and I encourage you all to …
I thought I’d note a way I try to make classes reasonably customizable without creating lots of classes, but letting other people create classes if they want.
Here’s a common technique; I’m going to use a class from WSGIProxy as an example, because that’s where I …
So, I was reading through comments to despam my old posts before archiving them, and came upon this old reply to this old post of mine which was a reply to this much older post.
I won’t reply to that post much, because it’s mostly… well, not useful …
I recently received a Beta-4 XO laptop. I won’t describe the hardware on the whole, but probably a number of readers here have seen the B2 laptops so I thought I’d write up a quick description of the changes I’ve noticed. If you haven’t seen the …
I mentioned a templating language I put into Paste a while ago, but since then I extracted it into a separate package called Tempita. I think the documentation is fairly complete (it’s a small language), but I’ll describe it shortly here.
I wanted a text-substitution language, because I …
One of the thinmgs I would like to do is to interact with Atompub (aka Atom Publishing Protocol) stores in Javascript through the browser. Since this effectively the browser itself interacting with the Atompub server, browser-like authentication methods would be nice. But services like Atompub don’t work nicely with …
I read Edd Dumbill’s post on the Zonbu computer with interest. The Zonbu is a small and inexpensive computer, reminiscent of the Mac Mini but running Linux. The disk is fairly small (4Gb flash) and is intended to serve more as a cache for your network storage than as …
There’s a bunch of techniques for doing deployments of long-running processes (Zope, Python server, Rails, etc). A pretty good technique is to do HTTP proxying. There’s some details and conventions I’d like to see for HTTP, but that’s not my concern here.
HTTP proxying isn’t …
I’m not saying this to anyone in particular, but I’ve heard people pronounce Django incorrectly way too often. The “dj” in Django is a hard J, like in the word “jury” or “jolly”. You don’t pronounce the D.
