Some of the stuff that I have been looking at recently:

• Howto to Talk with GoogleTalk in Python
• Enterprises and consumers don’t buy things, they subscribe to services
• SQL Relay - SQL Relay is a persistent database connection pooling, proxying and load balancing system for Unix and Linux.
• memcached - a high-performance, distributed memory object caching system
• spread - a high performance messaging service that is resilient to faults across external or internal networks
• MySQL InnoDB Tuning
• MySQL - Restrictions on InnoDB Tables -
  

  InnoDB does not keep an internal count of rows in a table. (This would actually be somewhat complicated because of multi-versioning.) To process a SELECT COUNT(*) FROM t statement, InnoDB must scan an index of the table, which takes some time if the index is not entirely in the buffer pool. To get a fast count, you have to use a counter table you create yourself and let your application update it according to the inserts and deletes it does.

  Happy to know that the workaround is to do it myself
