Transforming Python performance data – Use XML and XSLT to devise a Python performance profiling tool

Scientists discover a fifth element of taste: bitter, sour, sweet, salt… and umami?

Garret just posted a link to his photo galleries.

Tim O’Reilly: ‘I was surprised, disturbed, and disappointed by Jim Allchin’s comments about open source software development.’

Joshua Allen: “But if you think that Microsoft is ever going to embrace a business model that says software developers are hourly workers, you’re insane.”

Joshua Allen: building cool software is easier today than ever before in history. Amen.


Greg Franklin has several interesting links about buddhist pilgrimages in Japan.

    Oj, vad många bra länkar till min sida! När jag får tid, ska jag skriva mina mottagningstider även på engelska.
    Jag ska simma imorgon f.m. Hoppas du mår bättre och inte har feber idag. Det finns massor med god mat i frysen. OBS! När du ska värma maten, TAG BORT LOCKEN inna du värmer.
