In Albania and Bosnia, visa requirements are waived. And why not for Russia? Would be much more important for me ...

Majority in NRW against new state treaty for youth protection on the internet - Computer. The attempt by the Union to portray this as an embarrassment for Red/Green is quite amusing. I mean, how stupid do these prolethicians in Düsseldorf actually think the voter is? The waffling of Red/Green is indeed embarrassing - especially with the Greens, after their bold statements, one could only have accepted a rejection - but the ridiculousness of the Greens is something the Union can hardly claim as a success, the Greens manage that quite well on their own. Good that this dreadful contract has been postponed for now (whoever believes the topic is now settled for good is also putting on their pants with pliers), but it is hardly a merit of any of the parties. Everyone has made a fool of themselves, even the Left (with their approval in Berlin).
Nicholas Piël » Benchmark of Python Web Servers. Very interesting benchmarking, I definitely have to take a look at gevent, the performance in the tests is already impressive. Update: after I looked at gevent - I am impressed. For web services you have to be careful: gevent.wsgi only supports GET and POST, only gevent.pywsgi also supports PUT and DELETE.
RecordExtension - Mercurial. Great, I hadn't noticed this before. With this, you can select individual patches to commit when you've done several things at once but don't want to commit them together.
Security: Alleged Backdoor in OpenBSD's IPSEC Stack. Ouch. If there's anything to it, we might need a WikiLeaks for Open Source. And of all places, in OpenBSD, which has put security at the top of its TODO list.
