Possibly, it's a littler early to tell, but I'm sure I'll make it easy to use from the shell. Could even be possible to create converters from other config file formats to the Mongrel2 data model as well.

by zedshaw 16y ago
I'm aiming for operational understanding of the data model used over being able to directly work with the config file. If it's a .ini (or other conf) usually you have no idea how the config maps to internal data structures. It's a mystery

It'd be able to serve files just like normal, but at large scales smart companies use a big CDN and don't do their own file serving. The economies of scale are just not there to do it yourself. Mongrel2's advantage is its focus on apps. C

I actually wouldn't compete with those servers, because they are very language specific. I'm aiming for Mongrel2 to unify all the languages in the network architecture so that you can do what companies actually do: use what works. I could

That's because I find programming languages are marketed similar to religions and work more like Ponzi Schemes. My goal is to change the culture so that programmers start to think this "community/religion" attitude is weird. Basically, I'm

Mongrel2 will be very language agnostic, in the same way that Mongrel was very "Ruby Framwork Agnostic". My experience there was that making the server fairly implemented for all created a boom in server frameworks. I'm looking for the sa

I do sometimes just throw an idea out there to see if there's interest. No point wasting time these days if nobody gets it. In this case, I felt like reprising Mongrel and finally that it would make sense, so I whipped up some code, got it

It's the trend now in the NoSQL world, so I figured I'd try it on for size. Considering I'm really the only person I'm writing it for it's the perfect license.

Yes, I'll go right back to Rubyland where I never lived.

Actually, I figured if it's AGPL then basically everything has to be AGPL. We'll see how that goes.

Exactly. I'm glad someone's paying attention. Additionally, it's mostly a project I started on a dare that I started liking to hack on. Not really expecting anyone to use it for a while, if ever.

I decided that since I haven't worked on Lamson for a while, and I'm kind of bored with it, that I'd rather have people use it without having to constantly bug me about the GPL. If you think about it from a marketing perspective, trying to

Actually, Van, I was being a dick. I went back and read it and I am very sorry for saying that. I've since rewritten it to not be so critical and harsh toward you. My apologies: http://sheddingbikes.com/posts/1274557940.html

by zedshaw 16y ago
Van, nothing personal (because you are an awesome nice guy), but it was your statements at the last PyCon that you believe the GPL doesn't apply to Python because of the concept of "linking". Several times you said this, and it's been repe

Well, I'll take this as an opportunity to pimp my free book I'm working on: http://learnpythonthehardway.org/index Depending on how much code experience you have it may be great or dead boring. Try it out, and drop me your comments in th

by zedshaw 16y ago
Try out my free book: http://learnpythonthehardway.org/ It's 1/2 done, but the first half is a really good start for someone totally new to programming and the language. Also, submit tickets if your friend runs into trouble spots so I can

Ha, maybe that'll be it. Although the Zed Shaw Celebutant License was better.

by zedshaw 16y ago
When you do, let me know how it's working out for him. I may start holding in-person meetups for people who try to go through the book and I watch and make notes on things that need to be improved. I'll announce it if I do.

by zedshaw 16y ago
I think there's like 2 bugs I still have to fix, so yeah maybe I'll just fix them and release.

Target audience: Myself. I have some guitars and pedals to sell so I'll write it and use it to sell them. After that I'll try other people who need to sell guitar gear. Why? Because people who sell guitar gear want bigger pictures. If

Pfft, the only "innovative" thing on that page is the damn figlet BETA sticker. I'm not trying to be innovative, because frankly all you guys who keep using that word must not know what the hell it means. I haven't seen one single bit of i

Phase 1) Take pictures of random guitar gear I want to sell. Phase 2) Put the gear on crapmania.com. Phase 3) .... Phase 4) Profit!

No URLs. No HTML. Pretty much if you have to pay to put an image, you can't do any links or external content, and the email interaction is fairly controlled, then putting up spam will just be annoying. Also, if they want to do one giant i

by zedshaw 16y ago
Probably will, since it seems people also want a bad ass iPhone, Android client.

by zedshaw 16y ago
Exactly, it's like the free section plus two things: 1) A lot less bullshit to use it. Really good email interactions that's easy to use and keep your sale organized. 2) People who pay for images will immediately flag themselves as serious

That's the idea, just put it up and see if anyone gets it. I was thinking the name screamed, "The internet's dollar store!" But yeah, then I liked it.

I was thinking that it would basically help you keep track of who you've been talking to and what you've been offered. Probably a simple web interface with each convo that's easier to track.

I'd also add two more things: 1. Make it so the agenda is announced to the participants over email so they can whittle it down using email. Sometimes you don't even need the meeting. 2. If you have that guy who makes them take to long, tal

Yes, but before you did any of that you did printing. Admit it, the graphics came much later unless you started with logo. If you started with logo though, you probably don't consider that language your first programming language. I just

That's the feel I'm trying to capture, but in a more structured way so it's more generally effective. I learned that way too. Typed in a game where a Donkey had to dodge cars, all written in BASIC. Reams and reams of paper. Line by line
