This past week/end, I set up Mercurial on my server and started a few projects there. One is called slipcover, which I talked about last time. The other project, which I've started more recently, isn't really called anything. It was started as a direct result of me using Hg and I must say that so far I am pretty happy.

I've been doing a lot with CouchDB and WSGI the past few months, with positive and negative results. I'm finally getting the "hang" of Document Orited Databases (DODB? Rubbish acronym), and starting to understand what is possible and what isn't, how to do one-to-many and many-to-many relationships without having lots of queries. It struck me that although the per-query time in CouchDB is thusfar a lot slower than relational databases, the overall database time for individual webpage loads is far less, and there are far less queries and complex information joins going on.
