Been quite busy with my thesis work and i have not been doing much of the things that i would like…. but well…. Today i found this nice video about django on a google plex presentation, the video is quite nice and there are other videos also interesting (like this one about python 3000). The videos are from the 2006 but still interesting :). This also remembers me how bad the experience of uploading a video to an ipod is…..

Investigating about Amazon S3 (God damn they are cheap!i think they are using recycled paper as storage medium :P) i found this great article of guy explaining REST to his wife, the article is great and it explain some core definitions in a very simple way.

On other news tried Ubuntu 7.10 tribe 3 some weeks ago but rolledback as it’s way too green for me and i don’t have the time to try to fix it. i did not saw such a improve in battery life as a lot of people are saying with tickless kernel, i played with powertop and some of the upcoming gui modifications that will be showing on the next version of ubuntu (they made a winblows-like dialog for screen proprieties management, don’t spend 15 minutes looking for the font configuration app at System > Preferences is not there). I think this will be an other great release of a great Operating System, i just hope my cheap video card manufacturer release a decent driver with AIGLX support, apparently the last version, release today is more of the same crap. Well at least i know i wont be buying AMD any more.
