Traffic Server is finally here | Ogre.com
# A scalable threaded asynchronous state machine model. On a typical setup, 2 or 3 threads per core is enough to drive a large amount of traffic.
# Feature-rich HTTP/1.0 and HTTP/1.1 support. We fair well in various tests like CoAdvisor.
# Plugin architecture, making it easy (well, easier) to extend and customize your server.
# Well documented.

The panel also nicely integrates with other Firebug panels and allows to quickly find out, which HTML element is associated with specific event listener or see the Javascript source code.

Coming At You Like A Pydermonkey at Toolness
Pydermonkey’s mission is pretty simple and straightforward: it’s just meant to wrap Spidermonkey’s C API as faithfully as possible—including its debugging API—while enforcing the memory safety that Python is known for. This makes it awfully low-level for casual programmers, but thanks to Python’s awesome support for magic methods, it’s not hard to create high-level wrappers that provide much more convenient bridging between JavaScript and Python code.

Corey Goldberg: Selenium RC with Python in 30 Seconds
Selenium is a suite of tools to automate web app testing across many platforms. It has various pieces (Core, RC, IDE, etc), and I struggled trying to figure out how everything fits together and works. At the end of the day, all I wanted to do was use Selenium from my Python code to drive a browser session.

Web Development: How to Judge the Technical Quality of a Site? | NexusLab
The technical qualities of a website largely depend on how hard the web development team has worked on it. When qualifying a website on the code level, you need a different set of metrics than you did some years ago. This article is our attempt at specifying what metrics you should use.
How I Draft an Information Architecture
This is surprisingly easy, but there is a dependency. You need information. You need to understand what you are trying to achieve, what users of the service need and know, and you need to know the content well. If you don’t have these things, it will be hard. But if you do have them, pulling them together into a first draft is surprisingly easy.

Internet Alchemy » Representing Time in RDF Part 1
Way back in 2006 I wrote a blog post concerning the modelling of time in RDF (see Refactoring Bio With Einstein Part 3: Temporal Invariants. That post also provoked some discussion in the blogosphere. Although I haven’t written anything on the subject for the past three years I haven’t stopped thinking about it. In fact I’ve been working quite hard on the problem, mainly by modelling real data, especially geographical information. This is the first of a series of blog posts describing my experiments. I’d like to thank Leigh Dodds and Jeni Tennison who gave me valuable feedback on an earlier version of this write-up.
russell davies: blocks of time and the mechanical facebook
The hours spent in your browser or PowerPoint are easily forgotten, no trace of them normally remains, but once they're made flesh in brightly coloured blocks they become annoyingly hard to get rid of.

John The Ripper rapide comme l’éclair grâce au multi core
John Jean a d’ailleurs publié ses benchmarks sur son blog, c’est très instructif. Il passe donc d’un crack de MD5 d’une durée de 11h sur un CPU classique à une durée de 1h30 pour un mot de passe de 8 lettres sur un multi core… Je vous laisse imaginer le délire !
Bref, il est fini le temps où vous pensiez que les mots de passes hashés en base de vos utilisateurs étaient secure car hashés…

Tom Taylor : Projects : Clarke
Clarke is a small OS X application for updating your Fire Eagle location quietly, in the background. On Leopard (10.5) it uses Skyhook's API to triangulate your position from nearby wireless access points. On Snow Leopard (10.6) it uses Core Location. It's free, and the source code is available on Github.
