Map Kibera
Kibera in Nairobi, Kenya, widely known as Africa's largest slum, remains a blank spot on the map. Without basic knowledge of the geography and resources of Kibera it is impossible to have an informed discussion on how to improve the lives of residents. This November, young Kiberans create the first public digital map of their own community.

Experience History: Berlin 1961-1989 « Flickr Blog
Mes photos sont en Normandie. hmmm il faut que je demande.We’ve created the Experience History: Berlin 1961-1989 group, to give members the opportunity to share photographic memories of divided Berlin during this period. If you were living or visiting Berlin at that time, this is a wonderful excuse to rediscover your old slides and dust off those photo-filled shoe boxes that are lurking under your bed.

“Privacy is conceived of as an interpersonal boundary process by which a person or group regulates interaction with others. By altering the degree of openness of the self to others, a hypothetical personal boundary is more or less receptive to social interaction with others. Privacy is, therefore, a dynamic process involving selective control over a self–boundary, either by an individual or by a group.”

Infrastructure provides the basic needs for society, and sustainable infrastructure systems are essential for the survival, health and well-being of a society. For developing countries, the civil and environmental engineer are at the epicenter in seeking means to enhance human life through modernization of infrastructure as evidenced by provision of shelter, water, and transport, amongst others.
The current rate of urbanization and industrialization has caused a rise in environmental issues, involving environmental mismanagement which has been associated with unforeseen global catastrophes. The problems are further aggravated with environmental degradation such as soil erosion, depletion of water resources, etc.
In order to meet these multifaceted challenges, proper planning, implementation and verification exercises are required, via an integrated, multidisciplinary and holistic approach. The global momentum for sustainable development must now lead to practical applications of the engineering and science of sustainability.

John Resig - Google Groups is Dead
When you create a public group everything will go well for a couple days, at most. Without fail an onslaught of spam will start to come through your group - I've even seen it happen within the first day. It happens to every group and doesn't matter how well you advertise it (or try to hide it). After having watched Google Groups for as long as I have I can only assume that there exists no spam filtering whatsoever. Or, if there is any, it's the most grossly incompetent spam filter I've ever seen.
Le plus gros problème aussi, et que (au moins à une certaine époque), la liste de tous les inscrits avec leur adresses mails était publique... (et une boîte mail de perdue, une). Google, premier récepteur de SPAM, mais aussi premier fournisseur de chair à SPAM.

Archigram / - Design/Designer Information
ARCHIGRAM dominated the architectural avant garde in the 1960s and early 1970s with its playful, pop-inspired visions of a technocratic future after its formation in 1961 by a group of young London architects – Warren Chalk, Peter Cook, Dennis Crompton, David Greene, Ron Herron and Michael Webb.
“A new generation of architecture must arise with forms and spaces which seems to reject the precepts of ‘Modern’ yet in fact retains those precepts. We have chosen to by pass the decaying Bauhaus image which is an insult to functionalism. You can roll out steel – any length. You can blow up a balloon – any size. You can mould plastic – any shape. Blokes that built the Forth Bridge – they didn’t worry.”
So wrote David Greene in a poem published in the first issue of Archigram magazine or, as Greene’s co-editor, Peter Cook, called it “a message, or abstract communication”. It was published in 1961 on a large sheet of the cheapest available paper. Filled with Greene’s poems and sketches of architectural projects designed by Cook, Michael ‘Spider’ Webb and other friends, the magazine voiced their frustration with the intellectual conservatism of the British architectural establishment.

johnpaulett.com / Getting RESTful with web.py
Django may be the Python web framework getting all the press recently, but web.py is definitely a nice, simple framework. One of the nice aspects of web.py is that it exposes methods for the basic HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.) and uses these methods to process each request from the client. This approach makes it amazingly easy to write a RESTful API.

sixapart's remoteobjects at master - GitHub
remoteobjects are real subclassable Python objects on which you can build a rich API library. remoteobjects provides easy coding and transfer between Python objects and a JSON REST API. You can define the resources in a RESTful API as `RemoteObject` classes and their properties. These objects then support using the basic HTTP verbs to request and submit data to the API.
Plumber Jack: Python Logging 101
Basic logging of errors to text files and system logs is an old technique, but not very flexible. In this post, I introduce a logging system for the Python programming language. This system, while it borrows ideas from other systems, is not a port of anything but an independent implementation for use by Python developers.The logging package has been part of Python since Python 2.3 (released in 2002).
