Do you like pictures of Tony Danza?!? - Michael Leggett

Oh that is *awesome*! I have two questions: 1. Were your prepared to send over photos of Danza and 2. Did this chat session resolve your problem? - Jason Shellen

I'll try to work "Do you like pictures of Tony Danza?" in all conversations with CSRs from now on. - Tudor Bosman

I think you should have requested pictures of Tony Danza FROM him. He's probably trained to provide spectacular customer service! You should have at least requested his favorite Tony Danza links. (Though looking at the transcript, it almost looks automated) - Cyrus Lendvay

Were you able to buy modem for your internet successfully? - ⓞnor

I like the part were you told him that "That is comcastic." - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo

I'm now going to call them up and demand that self install kit #277433364 be sent to Siberia. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo

This brought back memories of AOLiza. - Ragani Harris

So little. :) - Alejandro

is it just me or does it look a little deformed.... (please don't kill me for saying so!) - Nicķ

It's just the breed. The mom (visible in a couple of the photos) looks the same way. - ⓞnor

It's mostly the breed. Its ears are folded back so its head looks disturbingly round. It's more pronounced in kittens (all baby animals have rounder features). - Kevin Fox

so cute 'n innocent:) - Shandiz

Its cute, face looks a little unusual, is this a special breed of some sort? - Christopher Yeo

More kittens ... but this guy (girl) is really cool :) - Charlie Anzman

I can't help it, every time I scroll down my friendfeed these catch my eye again and I just think "I WANT THAT KITTEN!" *sighs* - Rachel Lea Fox

If I have one, I am in terrible that my bigger kid will eat it :-D - terababy

Outstanding. All I can say is http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1... - Amir Gharaat

So small! - funkyboy

Amazing! - sandosh vasudevan

I've got FriendFeed Stats up and running (locally) using Django + Google App Engine, this is really cool. Spoke too soon - can't use sockets which means I can't use urllib2...grumble grumble - Benjamin Golub

I think it means we'll see lots more small apps that try to do one thing well. They won't need to make as much money or get as many users to stay in business and so there will (hopefully) be a greater diversity in the range of people who build these apps. - Adewale Oshineye

Benjamin: yeah, those restrictions leave no choice but to use EC2 and the likes, especially when it comes to crawling. But nevertheless, AppEngine is actually fun. I personally still prefer a more traditional setup for a web service/product, but it seems ideal for smaller pet projects. - Aviv

Thanks Adewale -- I'm all for diversity and smallness. - Ginger Makela Riker

Django integration is pretty smooth - just wrote a short tutorial: http://blog.broxrost.com/index... - Thomas Brox Røst

I like the integration with Django - sandosh vasudevan

I'm going to give Django a 2nd chance sometime - haven't used it in a while. I like the bare-bones feel of web.py - Aviv

@Slippy: haha, I doubt my mom or grandmother will be using App Engine any time soon. :-) - dgw

GAE looks very interesting. The many restrictions are a problem, though, as many others have said. I had an idea for an app that would need to use some of Python's networking libraries like urllib2. UPDATE: Ok, I saw here: http://code.google.com/appengi... that GAE has an URL fetch service - that may work. - Vasudev Ram

sweet blog bret, Its amazing that you did it under 100 lines of code, im sure you could even shorten that a bit, do you have any advice for future web app developers on what to read? Thanks for sharing your knowledge! - Kyle Weller
