VisitEin spannendes Video über die Zeit in der wir leben. Erfrischender weise wird weder Microsoft noch Google angegriffen und auch kein Welt-Untergangs-Szenario abgebildet.
Visit“Wie funktioniert eigentlich die Börse? Ganz einfach! Polylux klärt auf.” Wirklich sehenswert — nur davor hüten das Gesagte eins zu eins als Fakten aufzufassen :)
VisitGreat icon set of web 2.0 services. Just flickr looks a little weird.

VisitGreat review on a new Web 2.0 service. I don’t have an account yet, but hope to get the invitaion *very* soon.
VisitFor the needs of my work I had to write a python script that will create an spreadsheet document (Excel type) that would work in any platform. This post explains how to work with pyExcelerator.
VisitGreat idea to use make use of the Firebug console without errors in IE.
VisitHere, kangax collected most common use cases that do NOT use all of prototype’s capabilities and their simple solutions. There’s also a link to the second part of this checklist.
VisitSome points, why jQuery is better than Prototype. I use behaviour.js, so Quark’s first reason doesn’t convince me to switch. I use jQuery on my blog anyway and I like it a lot.
VisitThis project is an attempt to provide a low-level, somewhat magical, approach to handling row-level object caches.
VisitThis article explains the new features in Python 3.0, compared to 2.6. Python 3.0, also known as “Python 3000” or “Py3K”, is the first ever intentionally backwards incompatible Python release. There are more changes than in a typical release, and more that are important for all Python users.

Visitdjango_xmlrpc offers a means by which a Django developer can expose their views (or indeed any other function) using XML-RPC.
VisitDrop this package wherever you want, import the decorator, and use it with one argument to decorate any function you want (@xmlrpc(‘pingback.ping’)). That function is now available on your XML-RPC interface, available through this view.
VisitFabric is a simple pythonic remote deployment tool. It is designed to upload files to, and run shell commands on, a number of servers in parallel or serially. These commands are grouped in tasks (regular python functions) and specified in a ‘fabfile.’ It is a bit like a dumbed down Capistrano, except it’s in Python, doesn’t expect you to be deploying Rails applications, and the ‘put’ command works.
VisitMany standards all over the place use the W3C’s subset of the ISO 8601 standard to specify a date and time unambiguously. After a very brief search I couldn’t find a simple JavaScript function to parse a string in this form, so here’s one I wrote for the job. It should be bullet-proof and accept any correctly formatted date/time in the correct style.
VisitHope this will find it’s was very soon into django.
VisitThe default server_error view uses Context instead of RequestContext. If you were depending on a context processor to make MEDIA_URL available in your templates, your 500.html template will not render with the correct image paths. This handler adds MEDIA_URL (and nothing else) back to the context that is sent to the template.
VisitFinally a great calendar script: An attempt at writing a datePicker (calendar) that is accessible using the keyboard, requires no embedded JavaScript blocks, uses no pop-up windows and is suitable for use within documents served as application/xhtml+xml.
VisitGreat post from jezdez showing how to add autocopmletes to foreign key relations. Very interesting, when you have many objects and want it to be userfriendly.

VisitThis post shows a way to use triggers for denormalized data instead of the usual approch of using signals.
VisitOne of the neat things you can do in Django 1.0 is write custom management commands. Django gives you an API that you can use to easily write code that you can execute on the command line. We are familiar with some of the built-in ones such as syncdb and runserver. This post will cover how to create our own.
