FTP sucks.
In order for it to work, I need to support paths like ".", "./", "./name/", "name/", "name" and so on. Another problem is that FTP is not at all suited to working with browsers or multi-window filemanagers. HTTP is so much nicer - I wish I could find a working Python WebDAV server.

I'm working on too many projects at once.

At least Wholepop is finished. I'm sure someone here (the 1.0e-2 people who'll read this) will enjoy the Barbie Liberation Operation.

I finally wrote some docs for Zope: Developer's Guide to Zope. All the links you'll ever need to learn Zope.

I can't figure out why deekayen and nixnut certified me. nixnut I guess as a Zope user, but deekayen uses *blech* PHP. I used to use PHP, but I know better now.

I certainly sympathize with deekayen's complaints - consider the homework in Tel-Aviv U.'s "Advanced Internet Topics" course:

1. Create a homepage
2. Create a Java applet that displays your name
3. Animate it
4. Create an IM clone

Could be worse, but still...

I really recommend a Computer Graphics course - very interesting, with actual focus on making your programs efficient not only in complexity but in actual speed.
