APIs and Lists from Jeni Tennison on 2009-12-13 (public-lod@w3.org from December 2009)
by karlcow
Dave (Reynolds) raised the point that lists are an integral part of most APIs. This is another thing that we know we need to address in the UK linked government data project, but are unsure as yet how best to do so.

Database versus files for Images at Spindrop
by Xavier Lacot
Dave gives his feedback on a long-debated developement topic : storing files in database or on the filesystem.
"I had been serving images via the database. Immediately when I switched to the filesystem I saw a huge benefit. Not just a drop in database connections, but overall “zippiness” in the site.
We’ll see how well this performs in the real world, but I am quite sure that I learned my lesson."
All this makes sense : files are not data, they are just files. A filesystem is designed for hosting files. A database is designed for hosting data. Don't mess things.

The 10 best beer names ever - St. Petersburg Times
by sbrothier
I recently read a piece by John Foyston in The Oregonian relating how five bottles of an ultra-rare beer named Hair of the Dog Dave sold separately at auction for a combined $2838.30. Had there been a sixth, Foyston points out, it would have amounted to a $3,500 sixer.
After cringing a bit, I had to laugh. If it had been a wine, the name on the bottle would have been something pompous sounding like Coche-Dury Corton-Charlemagne. However, these bidders shelled out up to $719 per 375ml for a tipple named Dave. You have to love the working-class ethic of the craft beer community.
