I get that this is terrorism: A 24-year-old convert to Islam has been sentenced to 35 years in prison for plotting to set off hand grenades in a crowded shopping mall during the Christmas season. But I thought "weapons of mass destruction" was reserved for nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons. He was arrested in 2006 on charges of scheming to use weapons of mass destruction at the Cherryvale Mall in the northern Illinois city of ...

At work we upgraded to the shiny-new Django 1.0, and we had to make a lot of small changes in the process. Most were what you would expect: adapting to the 1.0 way from the older 0.96 code we had been using. But some of them were undoing ad-hoc patches to Django that we had accreted over the two years we'd been banging away at it. Over the course of a week or so, we'd ...

"Take the time to make your software self-diagnosing. The more you can automate about the job of writing software, the better your software will be." -Ned Batchelder. Ned talks about his experience upgrading from Django 0.96 to Django 1.0. Along the way he shares an anecdote about a small bug that could have been tracked down more efficiently if they had used a simple pattern of self-diagnosing error messages. Excellent observation, and one that most of us can learn from I suspect.

Apple's iPhone OS App Store is a little over two months old and already the focus of both hype and fear among members of the press. KPCB has already invested more than $30 million through its iPhone-specific fund. Established companies are writing iPhone applications for the first time. A few applications have been banned, as expected with most platforms. Apple's relative secrecy regarding the iPhone platform and distribution policies have caused market uncertainties in need ...

GetSatisfaction describes itself as “a place where customers and companies can come together to answer each others’ questions: questions about shipping, pricing, fulfillment, the product itself.” It’s a kind of social customer support site that lets people express their problems, questions, and wishes for the products they use, and the companies that make those products — as well as other users — to respond, in a more or less neutral environment. Employees from hundreds of ...

I really like this service and the fact that the web2.0 crowd use this as their customer service forum.

"GetSatisfaction has released an API with the intention to “expose every part of the Get Satisfaction service, so that companies and customers alike who have clever ideas about how to integrate, build on top of, and/or extend the Get Satisfaction service can just do that.” The RESTful API, which uses Mashery services, offers OAuth for authentication as well as support for Atom, microformat-rich XHTML, or JSON. The resources available are as robust as advertised. Developers can query for companies, products, people — both employees and consumers — discussion topics, and replies, and new topics and replies can be posted through the API as well." -John Musser
