Dirty Dining?

Dirty Dining?

Fast food: It’s served fast and you eat it fast, maybe too fast to notice the restaurant is a little dirty. The fact is that no one has ever done a national survey looking at the cleanliness of fast food chains — until now. Recently, we took our Dateline cameras undercover for the first-ever investigation of whether America’s top 10 fast food chains are clean and safe. How did your favorite restaurant do?

I'm watching the video now, and I'm probably about to be seriously grossed out.

Praise for my XML-RPC library, and Trees in SQL

Again, stuff like this makes me feel good. Thanks!

By the way, check out his unique URL scheme, based on the nested sets model of storing Trees in SQL. Click around for a bit looking at his URLs and you'll get the idea of what he did.

While I'm here, I'd like to catalog these two articles from Joe Celko covering the technique, the first of which he has a link to on his site. I think the first is basically identical to something I linked to in my previous post about this, but the second is a follow-up to the first one.

PHP Inside/Out

Via Sterling: PHP Inside/Out (PDF) is a neat sampling of lots of low-level details about PHP's execution.

Cheetah

Cheetah is very nice. Good code even!

What's especially nice about Python -- and I knew this would happen -- is that that huge hack I had to do to get Smarty to do what I wanted is completely taken care of with Python's operator overloading mixed with Cheetah's flexibility.

I'm going to like working in Python.
