		<title>Python on the browser</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A very cool article on how to use Python on the browser. Maybe it is a bit heavyweight thing to do, because your Python code will be interpreted by a Silverlight application that acts as a Python interpreter, but it is ok for people like me who know how to program in Python but hate Javascript&#8230;

		<title>libevent 2.0</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a description of the new features that can be found in libevent 2.x. One of the main reasons for using it would be the inclusion of sendfile() operations (where the OS does all the work when sending large files from disk), and big performance improvements, specially in the HTTP code:
Preliminary results around April [...]]]></description>

		<title>Video codecs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[An interesting article on video codecs licensing and how we are all being out of the law. The conclusion is very simple: Theora is a free standard we can all use for commercial purposes, we know, but just because it is not widely used!.

		<title>gevent performance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I´m using gevent for implementing a basic HTTP stresser and I must say I´m impressed with the performance I can get with this framework. My program launches thousands of HTTP requests (with urllib2) to my server, asking for very long files (&#62;200MBytes), and I´m getting up to 2 Gbit/sec with almost no CPU usage in [...]]]></description>
