Abstract:

This page is used to promote technical things I think are worth drawing attention to. I also use this page for payed advertisements. Actually, this page is the only place where advertisements are placed on this website/platform. There are no limitations to the nature of advertisements as long as they are morally and ethnically all right. What I do not accept is proprietary software, porn, religion, violence, politics, ... the usual boring nonsense. For more information/questions with regards to advertisements, please take a look at the FAQs page or contact me.

Monkeysphere (using SSH is one thing but establishing trust is a whole different can of worms)
- Why not use the well-known and proven WOT (Web of Trust) in order to add the notion of a trust-framework to SSH?! Said and done. Monkeysphere at your service ...
CouchDB, a non-SQL, schema-less database with built-in replication, webserver and out of the box load balancing support among several other excellent things. Forget old-school MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, etc. stuff ;-]

Pinax is an open-source platform built on top of the Django web application framework. It is all Python under the hood.

I wrote an article with information about how to join the IRC network for those who might be new to the entire IRC (Internet Relay Chat) thingy ;-]
