Determine a basic need -> Create a service that satisfies it in the simplest way possible -> Open it up
it sounds all right to me too.
Jonas Galvez : /log
Django's templating system is often a pain to work with, and XML libraries for Python are also not stellar, so I decided to take advantage of Python's with statement and wrote a XML generation library somewhat similar to Ruby's Builder.

Ultimate multi-column liquid layouts (em and pixel widths)

Comet Daily » Blog Archive » The Future of Comet: Part 2, HTML 5’s Server-Sent Events
Comet doesn’t have to be a hack. Currently, as we saw last time, Comet relies on undocumented loopholes and workarounds, each one with some drawbacks. We can make Comet work effectively in every browser, using streaming transports on subdomains of the same second-level domain, or using script tag long polling across domains. But this leaves Comet developers implementing (and more frustratingly, debugging) several transports across several browsers. Traps are numerous and easy to stumble into.
event-source is the future of all Comet things.
m mi works : blog : on interaction architecture
Not a line I draw ends up on an end‑user screen. Not a word I write is compiled into code. Not a sentence I say instructs users. I draw, write and talk to enable the specialists I work with to excel at what they do and realise inspiring software for my clients.
I’m not a graphic designer, I am an interaction architect.
