microprinter / FrontPage
“Hackers across the country are buying up old old receipt printers and imaginatively repurposing them into something new. We call them microprinters.”
Shakespeare in XML
“This directory contains the complete plays of Shakespeare marked up in XML.” WORLDS COLLIDE!
Global is the new private
Comparison of JavaScript frameworks (and some library stuff like GMaps) showing the globals and monkeypatches each framework has. Don't miss the “collision matrix” which shows, at a glance, which frameworks will compete with which others.
Whoosh
Pure-Python search engine. Looks like a great idea if you need something simple and don't want to mess with an external service.
Interlude - Write Python Doctests interactive — BlueDynamics Alliance

rnk's django-media-bundler at master - GitHub

20 Useful Visualization Libraries : A Beautiful WWW
Roundup of 20 free (some gratis, some libre) visualization toolkits. I'd heard of about half of these, but some others are news to me. Awesome.

SQLite's testing infrastructure is nothing short of inspired: “SQLite […] consists of approximately 62.2 KSLOC of C code. […] By comparison, the project has 716 times as much test code and test scripts - 44568.6 KSLOC. […] The TCL test suite obtains 99.37% statement coverage [… and] 95.16% branch coverage.”
Farmdev: What Makes Pylons Stand Out As a Web Framework
A really good summary of what's good about Pylons. I'm glad to see that the recent 0.9.7 release adds “documentation” to the list; all too often, poor or missing documentation cripples an otherwise good chunk of code.
Mac OS X Security Update 2009-001 might break your Perl (CPAN)
Apple fucked up Perl in the 2009-001 security update. Way to go, guys.
Feeding the Cloud: Finding the size of a Postgres database on disk

The taste of shame and humiliation
