Fount on Megnut
“They’re richer after four months of ‘web’ work than many web people who’ve been doing it since the beginning. They don’t have personal sites. They don’t want personal sites. They don’t get personal sites. They don’t get personal. Web people can tell you the first site they ever saw, they can tell you the moment they knew: This, This Is It, I Will Do This.”
First web site that I ever saw, that converted me, Yahoo back when it was nothing but links.
“Webware for Python is a definitive suite of Python software components for use in web development. Each component has a focused purpose and can often be used on it’s own. At the same time, the components are designed to work together where appropriate. As a user of Webware, you can bite off as much or as little as you want to chew.”

Where do these people get their (unoriginal) ideas?
“Any kind of interruption can cause these details to come crashing down. When you resume work, you can’t remember any of the details (like local variable names you were using, or where you were up to in implementing that search algorithm) and you have to keep looking these things up, which slows you down a lot until you get back up to speed.”
Burn down the cubes of cubecity. Treat people like real people, not veal, and they will produce real work.

Integrating Diverse Data Sources with Gadfly 2
“This paper describes the primative methods underlying the implementation of SQL query evaluation in Gadfly 2, a database
management system implemented in Python [Van Rossum]. The major design goals behind the architecture described here are to simplify the implementation and to permit flexible and efficient extensions to the gadfly engine. Using this architecture and its interfaces programmers can add functionality to the engine such as alternative disk based indexed table implementations, dynamic interfaces to remote data bases or or other data sources, and user defined computations.”
