I’ll admit – I’m very tempted by Ruby on Rails. I like its “Ruby Everywhere” philosophy. I like its “beauty leads to happiness” philosophy. I like its “damn straight it’s opinionated” attitude. I like how easily it gives you an application starting point out of the box (oh, you don’t know how I’ve been struggling with this this week). At least, I like all of this in theory. I haven’t tried making...

I’ve spent way way way way way too much of the day trying to code in a couple of simple objects into a Zope 3 application. They’re ridiculously simple, for the most part, with a couple of specialized business requirements beyond them. Some of the slowdown has come from me back-pedaling on a couple of design decisions earlier in the day. But as I slough through just the basic ZCML to get these stupid...

Mar 17, I'll be playing at No Fun Fest 2006, in the basement for Hospital Productions night. No Fun Fest runs Mar 17-19 at The Hook (18 Commerce Street) in Brooklyn.Smegma, Ikue Mori, Zbigniew Karkowski, Sickness, and me, the always yodeling aodl.Show starts around 7:30 each night, and I'm one of the first to go on. Come on down and watch me rock the trumpet tuning mic like you know I do it right.......

A few months ago I defended ZCML pretty staunchly. These days, it's becoming feature #1 that makes me NOT want to use Zope.For the uninitiated, ZCML is an XML configuration language to load up Zope components. I think that having registration separate from implementation, even in another 'language', is a good thing. But ZCML has also taken on heaps of automation capabilities. And those suck. Instead...

A web application framework that truely fascinates me is Seaside. Seaside, written in Smalltalk, has great vision and ideals for web applications by using continuations to suspend and resume code. It breaks free of the typical request/response cycle, and manages state to a fault. This code, from an example store application for Seaside, is the go method of the WAStoreTask object. This method runs...

This was the opening line in one of those oil scam spams: Let me crave your indulgence to introduce myself to you.My brain is now stuck in a locked groo...

Somehow, Griddle Noise got selected as a spam blog or offensive blog or something along those lines. I'm trying to decide whether I should don the dynamite hat of paranoia or not. It could be fun: add to my crankiness a fear of everyone. "They know I'm right, dammit, and they're trying to shut me up?" "Who?" "THEM!" "Who?" "Them!"If it wouldn't be so mind-crushingly depressing (and wasn't so out of...

By the way, the crisis of faith mentioned in my last post may be minor. There is a lot about Zope 3 that I like. There’s a lot about classic Zope that I’ve liked. But I feel frustrated. That frustration is felt on more than one level too. I’ll get to the positives soon enough. Again, I’ll mention that I’m not necessarily a good person. I haven’t contributed any actual code for more than a couple of...

For the first time since spring of 1997, I find myself having a crisis of faith regarding Zope. I’m not sure it remembers where it came from. I’m not sure it knows its own future. It’s suffering from a crazy identity crisis. And there seems to be a core effort to take it in directions that I really wish it wouldn’t go. Is it a good tool? Oh hell yeah. Ever since I wrote my first serious Bobo web application,...
