Switching from PHP to Zope/Python

Now here’s an interesting discussion on kuro5hin.org I’ve always wanted to look at Zope, as it’s based on Python I thought it’d offer me lovely OO programming and fast development.

It looks like iTools 7 for Mac OS X & Mac OS X Server is using or at least shipping b2++ as one of their “new extentsions to make websites easier”. It sits alongside such well-known stalwarts as Gallery and phpBB2 and PHP-Nuke! (Thanks Mark for the link!)

Thank you for the skip!

You know it’s election time again. Politicians are being nice and taking notice of their constituants. Not that I mind, much. Things get done. It’s a pity I’m moving to a completely different area as this gesture is wasted on me! Several weeks ago a letter arrived at home saying the road outside would be [...]
