Hopefully, I should be able to write those posts quickly but since consulting is my primary duty, I don't have much control over my workload.
Stay tuned!

…solutions to prevent those users who trust them from needlessly worrying when an usual IP is recorded. Publishing a list of their IPs and ensuring that reverse lookups of such IPs lead to actual etacts hostnames, were two of the potential solutions that they suggested.
So was it much ado about nothing?
Yes and no. Without a doubt, the event that led me to write the article was the false alarm, but the real motivation behind it was to bring Google's access log to people's attention, …

The story so far:
So today I went down there, with this letter (PDF) . It's worth reading the whole letter for perspective. It includes a list of the improper withdrawals from my bank account, with dates, and a page and a half of similar complaints from 14 other people on Yelp. I've changed the names of the people involved just in case; I'm not a lawyer and I'm not clear on California privacy law. Publishing their real names might not be legit, so I've opted …
- How Software is Built: Interview with Shay David - Co-founder of Kaltura
Publishers no longer have to spend human resources on the infrastructure. The problems are beginning to be well understood—and solved with technology like what Kaltura brings to the market. Now people can start focusing on innovation and actually building the applications and what follows around it.
The Application Exchange we just launched recently is an excellent example of that, which allows people to think about higher-level applications, instead of plumbing.

We don't deserve anything. Publishers can do whatever they want. If you don't like it, don't send them nasty emails or browse their sites with ad-blockers: just don't support them. Don't read their content, don't link to them, and don't talk about them. Since money's not usually involved, vote with your attention and read elsewhere.

I am an official external contributor to the Scala language project, but have been grossly negligent in that respect since starting the work on the book. Finally, my only other claim to fame is that I am the "official" custodian of why the lucky stiff's little language Potion.

Dear Publishers:
Hiya. You don't know me, but I'm a pretty good customer of yours. I buy several thousand dollars of books a year, in almost every genre you sell: fiction, non-fiction, fantasy, sci-fi, classics, mysteries, you name it. I have bought everything from Gladwell to the most obscure author in your backlists and back again. I may well be the only heterosexual male in the entire world who spent more on urban fantasy alone than he does on video games, movies, and newspapers combined. I really love books.

Publishing a package to PyPi
For #1, I used setuptools , kick-started by Ian Bicking's excellent presentation (the official docs are good too). Completely painless, and it pretty much covers #3 too. All in all I would say that it was easier than building and publishing a Rubygem.
Re #2, doctest isn't going to replace regular unit tests for me, but for describing a public API I think it's excellent. In the case of LinkHeader, exercising …
