REST and Python
As I mentioned here, recently I’ve been doing some research in REST. Specifically, I’ve been looking for ways to implement REST web services for some of our Python-based routines.

Is Obama or McCain better to handle the economic crisis?
For the record, yesterday was ‘Bloody Sunday’ for the financial market. Lehman Brothers filed for the biggest bankruptcy in the US history, Bank of America agreed to buy failing Merryll Lynch, and AIG the largest insurance company slumped on the fear that they cannot raise enough money to be arround.
