Ruby vs. Python: While my quest continues - Amazon Germany can't deliver the Ruby book I ordered - damn. In fact all the English language Ruby books will take weeks. I saw some down in the local bookstore - so I will have to pick one up there. I also think I bought the wrong Python book (O'Reilly "Learning Python"). It doesn't seem to be the right one to pick up and start diving in. I would rather have more code examples that do stuff and then work out the basics from that. The book should also cover wxPython. Suggestions?

GForge: My favorite Mountie has information up on GForge - a fork of the software that runs SourceForge. Michigan: Mum is now blogging from the snowy depths of Michigan and getting ready for Thanksgiving. CosmoBlogging.

Scary Anagrams: Just found this. Makes you think..

Zope vs. Cocoon: This article compares Zope to Cocoon. Still reading..(thanks Frank)

Team Spirit? Yesterday I popped into a local supermarket to get a couple of things. Now the supermarket has a very distinct look and feel (colors, logos etc.), and the people working there wear the same color-scheme clothes so they are immediately recognizable as "staff". Yesterday I noticed that some of the "staff" had "xyz Team" (where xyz is the name of the supermarket) on the back of their "uniform". Since then I have been wondering - why do they need to explicitely put the additional word "Team" there? Are the other staff members "not in the team"? Is the staff as a whole not a team? Hmm...think about it.
