"Single server local network filesharing." (via @mintchaos) - Jeff Triplett

Interesting Python library for remotely executing code. What catches my eye is that fact that you can run java code via Jython and interact with the results. Kind of hot. (via eric) - Jeff Triplett

RPC via Python. RPC is a solid yet somewhat forgotten technology that rest and other web services are anemically trying to reinvent. I love me some rest but more people should understand RPC before they implement a web service or queue. - Jeff Triplett

"HTML has always been a conversation between browser makers, authors, standards wonks, and other people who just showed up and liked to talk about angle brackets. Most of the successful versions of HTML have been “retro-specs,” catching up to the world while simultaneously trying to nudge it in the right direction. Anyone who tells you that HTML should be kept “pure” (presumably by ignoring browser makers, or ignoring authors, or both) is simply misinformed. HTML has never been pure, and all attempts to purify it have been spectacular failures, matched only by the attempts to replace it." - Jeff Triplett

Interesting documentary about a group that self-funds a trip across America driving a Segway. - Jeff Triplett

Impressive overview of Github's architecture and their reasoning behind each layer. - Jeff Triplett

Great overview of Github's use of RPC and the creation of BERT-RPC which uses Erlang to broker jobs to Ruby. This could easily work with Python. I'm impressed that Github chose RPC instead of going with XML or JSON which too many companies use as a big hammer. Web services have their place but I'm surprised how many times developers will over-engineer solutions and create inefficient solutions. Well done Github! - Jeff Triplett

Via Matt and this looks hot! "Playdar is a music content resolver service - run it on every computer you use, and you'll be able to listen to all the songs you would otherwise be able to find manually by searching though all your computers, hard disks, online services, and more." - Jeff Triplett
