A high-level cross-protocol url-grabber - nett. urllib is quite ok for http, but also rather low-level. This, on the other hand, looks quite useful for typical batch programs.

Anonymous(tm) - nice, readable monospace font.

British-French Nuclear Billiards in the Atlantic - err - what? Well, I don't know, but submarines with nuclear warheads and reactor propulsion should probably not ram into each other. British understatement: "Crashing a nuclear submarine is as serious as it gets."

CDU: Opponents of Internet Blocking Promote Child Pornography - sensationalist polemic instead of arguments. And all just to show absurd activism because elections are coming soon. Does anyone seriously believe that the prolethicians in Berlin care about protecting children?

py-amqplib - AMQP Library for Python, seems promising.

Rabbits and warrens - RabbitMQ and Python - a report from reality.

txAMQP: Twisted AMQP in Launchpad - hmm. AMQP and Twisted - this could make the workers even more efficiently attached to a queue.

Using RabbitMQ Beyond Queueing - interesting article that deals with multiple consumers, persistent queues, and similar topics.

zeromq: Fastest. Messaging. Ever. - another AMQP server (besides RabbitMQ, which I already had, and QPID from the Apache project, which tends to lose messages), sounds quite interesting, especially the very low resources it requires. However, there is no persistence in queues.
