   Does anyone here have real world experience with OrientDB? I consider it a candidate for a project at the moment (where MongoDB was too flaky, CouchDB too slow for unplanned queries and the relational model not a good fit for a document-ori

    One of the first games I wrote as a teen was a (as simple as it gets) text based simulation/adventure dealing with horse races (I read The Difference Engine at that time). Even though it wasn't sophisticated at all, it felt interesting (a

    I like simple tools like this. They fit both nicely into various workflows and into the 'Write programs to work together. Write programs to handle text streams, because that is a universal interface'-mindset.
