something fangled

I’m really excited about my current project. It’s super interesting. Not at all trivial and potentially very useful. I’m playing with things like Thrift, HBase/Hadoop, Postgresql, Skytools. I’ll be gluing things in Python, with a touch of Java to watch what happens to HBase.

I’ve never programmed in Python before and I’m loving it. It truely is fun.

Wow. Contributing, learning, cutting edge what more could you want from a job? Well I guess the fame and fortune will come later, partly as a result of this.

Cool, love the Python. It is fun as you say. You can even compile the stuff to an executable. Geeks rule!

I know it is isn’t it?! :)
Everything is about 1/5 the length of what you’d write using Java, but mostly importantly it looks nice :) That’s always the main thing.

So good to hear from you.
