Have you looked at telehash ( http://www.telehash.org ), a much more recent project by the same guy? I'm impressed by how elegant the protocol is. I hate XMPP, but telehash gives me faith.

I have a masters in computational biology. I did some work on flux balance analysis (FBA), which is a pretty interesting topic. FBA simulates the metabolic system using linear programming, which is a technique used most extensively in econo

I recently converted the Python port to use lxml instead of BeautifulSoup. If you need speed (BeautifulSoup is slow), and not portability (lxml won't work on google app engine), check out http://blog.interstellr.com/readability-in-python-u

The current project I'm working on involves managing and launching a lot of http requests to different web service api's, and gevent really is the best thing since sliced bread. Things like rate limiting (gevent can monkey patch time.sleep)

Here's a blog post from several months ago: http://nichol.as/benchmark-of-python-web-servers Gevent uses the http server built into libevent, which is written in C, so it's no surprise that it is fast .

Would have been more informative if Javascript was separated into client-side and server-side. It's obvious that everyone uses it on the client-side.

When the social web came out, I wasn't completely enamored with it as well. It was only later, when I started getting into "network science"[1], and began to view social systems and the internet as large complex systems, that the social web
