Development is tough, as I keep on running into their limit, even though I really doubt I'm making more than one request per second.

Albert I'm having a great time publishing Debian stuff with Sinatra, so here's another experiment!

Debian Docs at Docunext Labs

Many of these are a total mess, but I'm sharing this link because its an interesting setup. I'm using Nokogiri to parse HTML files in /usr/share/doc. Most of them use totally different formats, so some work out better than others. I'm curious to find if I can somehow herd them all together.

Albert The first Docunext Labs tool includes a simple recreation of an old Docunext online tool: online dig.

Not everyone will know what "dig" refers to, so I'll explain that it refers to the querying of a domain name through public name servers to identify its corresponding IP address. This functionality is also available from the "nslookup" and "host" tools.

Checkout this example which views the IP addresses which correspond to "www.docunext.com":

Albert I've been interested in trying out some document based storage and I finally got started on something today.

Its a simple web publishing system that uses Sinatra, Markdown, and Memcachedb for storing everything. I really like how simple and fast it is.

I can't wait to work on this some more! Maybe a little bit more today, and definitely tomorrow. Right now I'm feeling pretty exhausted though....
