ThoughtWorks, Diamond District.
I plan to present a prototype of a project I have been
working on for the last few weeks which uses OpenCalais
and NLP to search RSS feeds for very specfic information.
The presentation will cover the
I downloaded the source tarball for Python 3.1 from python.org and built it.
Works fine now. However, I don't know what could be the implications when I
start downloading and installing modules for the other version of Python (
version 2.6 ) that came with the Linux distribution.

Why do indian programmers ask for code in Usenet (particularly Google
groups) ?
Most Indian programmers were never supposed to be programmers. They
simply lack the cognitive skills required to be in the business. Yet
they are the ones who work for large/medium/small software service
companies.
Googling or search in general is a skill. There is a lot of contextual
knowledge that we use when composing a search query. One of the most
important skills when entering a new discipline is learning the appropriate
jargon and using it drive your queries.
Search isn't generally a skill taught in
