Google veröffentlicht freien NX-Server - interestingly, some parts are written in Python!

jQuery Visualize Plugin: Accessible Charts & Graphs from Table Elements using HTML 5 Canvas - ok, das ist definitiv cool.

MetaPython Documentation - hadn't I seen that before? Never mind. Hygienic Compile-Time Macros. For Python.

pudb 0.92.2 - Console debugger for Python. Looks quite nice.

robey's kestrel at master - loosely ordered, reliable message queueing. In Scala. Sounds very interesting, could be useful for some projects, especially since it simply uses the memcache protocol for access, so many clients for various languages are already available. Scala and its ecosystem of projects is becoming increasingly interesting to me.

simple-build-tool - an interesting build tool for Scala that doesn't rely on XML orgies. I find Maven somehow terrifyingly monstrous - and quite honestly, editing XML files I consider an imposition.

SUMMON: visualization prototyping and scripting - maybe for the rider of the shockwave. Data visualization in Python. With OpenGL.

Judgment: DSL-Sharing via WLAN violates competition law - well, that should probably be the end of FON in Germany (at least if the judgment holds). Well, it never really took off here anyway.
