recursion

Those of you using Mac OS X Tiger and living in the Twin Cities metro area may be interested in the little widget I wrote tonight. It displays MNDOT's traffic map.

Sure, you could just go to their webpage, but maybe this will be a little easier. Or not. Anyway, it was fun to write. It really is the world's simplest widget. It just displays an image!

I heard about the Python Challenge today.

It's a pretty fun way to stretch your Python. I made it through the first couple levels fairly easily, but I did have to run crying to the tutorial.

This is cool. pgdiff analyzes the structure of two databases and produces SQL that will synchronize them.

Don't waste your time figuring out what modifications your database requires. Let pgdiff do the work for you!

As an example, consider a project where you have a SQL schema in a source code repository, a test server and a production server. By using pgdiff, you can guarantee that your database changes are migrated properly from source to test, and from test to production. By solving this problem programmatically, the chance for human error is greatly reduced.
