    This project shows how to create a somewhat substantial web application using Django on Google App Engine. In addition, I hope it will serve as a practical tool for the Python developer community, and hopefully for other open source communities. As I've learned over the last two years at Google, where I developed a similar tool named Mondrian, proper code review habits can really improve the quality of a code base, and good tools for code review will improve developers' life. Some code in this project was derived from Mondrian, but this is not the full Mondrian tool.

  • 1. In Firefox - Tools/Weave/Preferences/Account make sure you are sign off. This prevents a lot of error messages you may get later. 2. Create new account at www.mydisk.se - for example: mydiskrocks 3. Login to www.mydisk.se using the account and password from step 2 4. Once you are inside mydisk.se make a folder called weave (folder creation make take some time as reported by other users). 5. In Firefox - Tools/Weave/Preferences/Advanced for server location put https://mydisk.se/mydiskrocks/weave/ (last slash is important) 6. In Firefox - Tools/Weave/SignIn - for username put mydiskrocks (mydisk account name) - for password put xxxxxxxxxxx (mydisk password) - for excryption passphrase put whatever you want (cannot be the same as the password) - click SignIn (takes some time since weave will have to create the sync folder structure at mydisk.se) 7. Enjoy 8. If any error messages shows up try to close and reopen the Firefox.

  • The fastest growing entity today is information. Information is expanding ten times faster than the growth of any other manufactured or natural product on this planet. According to a calculation Hal Varian, an economist at Google, and I made, world-wide information has been increasing at the rate of 66% per year for many decades. Compare that explosion to the rate of increase in even the most prolific manufactured stuff – like concrete, or paper -- which averages only 7% annually over decades.

      What Mr. Kelly should say is that the amount of information which is measured is growing quickly. It is not possible to know all of the information available, however it is still important that the amount which we successfully record, store, and access is increasing.

      Surely the number of web pages is increasing, but how well does the number of web pages measure information? Perhaps actual network bandwidth usage, or total filesizes, would be a better measure?
  • The number of scientific articles published each year has been increasing in a steady rise for more than 50 years. Over the last 150 years the number of patent applications has increased. By this rough metric, knowledge is growing exponentially.

  • We see the expansion of information everywhere. Less visible, harder to track, but exploding the same is the expanision of knowledge. The number of scientific articles published each year has been increasing in a steady rise for more than 50 years. Over the last 150 years the number of patent applications has increased. By this rough metric, knowledge is growing exponentially.

      Journal articles may represent an accurate measure of research progress, but both the publishing process and the patent system have many influences besides sheer volume of content.
  • Yet the paradox of science is that every answer breeds at least two new questions. More answers, more questions. Telescopes and microscopes expanded not only what we knew, but what we didn’t know. They allowed us to spy into our ignorance. New and better tools permit us new and better questions. All our knowledge about subatomic particles derived from the new questions generated after we invented an atom smasher.

      This is accurate, just as each question is answered, new questions appear. Here is not the downfall of the pursuit of knowledge, but its glory.
