http://lawfulsamurai.blogspot.com/2010/03/reading-notes-3-ring-benchmark.html
Monday, March 08, 2010. Reading Notes #3: Ring Benchmark. I have been working my way through Joe Armstrong's Programming in Erlang.

Friday, September 10, 2010. Re: Why Django Sucks. I recently came across this presentation. On 'Why Django Sucks' and the associated discussion.
