Google Blacklisting of my Post about the Influence of Porn on media and why the semantic web cannot work.
This is a public complaint about google blogsearch blacklisting of a
single post of mine in the search results. A mistake in googles
autocorrection feature must have been so embarassing for them, so they
dont want you to see my post that contains it. This incident is
indicative of googles power in controlling what input is allowed into
peoples minds. Anything that is unpleasant for them can be made to just
go away for millions of users. Anyone can be hit and you have no
recourse, it was only by accident that I found out at all.

My teacher, my lover, my advogato
Creator, i am your dust copy
touch me lightly with your finger tips
water me tenderly with your dew drops.

Poverty within 'Revolutionary Wealth'
I am very impressed by C-SPAN program Newt Gingrage interviewing Alvin
Toffler about his new book 'Revolutionary Wealth', especially life and
passion shared between the two authors as husband and wife, thinkers and
doers. Alvin says 'Heidi and I are reading machines'. They devour books
not one at a time but many across vast different fields. I do the same
plus another dimension, both in Chinese and in English.
SQL - stored procedures, views, and dynamic sql generation
I first started getting significantly involved in SQL back in 2000.
Within six months I had written pysqldb (one of the many reinvented
dynamic SQL generators available) because hard-coding SQL statements I
immediately concluded to be insane. I was constantly battling the
management of the project because they wanted to create Views - and to
get me to use them. I am now, once again, on a major SQL project, this
time involving stored procedures. This article describes the SQL
experiences - positive and negative - and outlines some of the advice
that I've encountered from different sources.

Zope 3 add forms
Marius Gedminas shows us how to create a simple add form for Zope3 using
formlib, but he then assumes the object in question accepts keywords in
the __init__ method.
