An interesting presentation by Bob Ipolito at PyCon 2009 about the different distributed key-value store approaches currently available. I’ts a good introductory roundup for what’s around.
Another interesting list was written by Richard Jones from Last.fm: Anti-RDBMS: A list of distributed key-value stores
I’ve been meaning to start a personal weblog written in English for about a year now and this idea as matured since I arrived to work in Dublin six months ago.
I’ve been blogging actively for some time now - since 2003 - but mainly written in my native Portuguese. I’ve had humouristic blogs and technical blogs but never really got to write a generalist personal blog about stuff I care.
And what do I care about?
First of all, I love being a software engineer and it should be expected that views on technology, programming and software architecture will be a big part of this blog. As an engineer my view of the world is often an analytical one as seen through the lenses of pragmatism.
I consider myself a humanist and assume a social democrat political view, so some positions I make might reflect exactly that.
All in all, I might write about anything I care about and try not to make this a cheesy personal blog. Instead, I want like minded people to enjoy what I have to share and contribute with their own opinions.
