Gevent-websocket 0.2.0 was just released:
I just released the gevent-websocket project, which adds websocket support to gevent. Currently it is based on the pywsgi server, but that might change in the future.
The repository can be found here: http://bitbucket.org/Jeffrey/gevent-websocket/src It can be installed using easy_install or pip.
It still needs improvement and optimizations, so I'm open for suggestions, comments and patches.

Tinkerer’s Sunset That led his lawyers to ask the obvious question, “On whose computer did he trespass?” The prosecutor’s answer: “his own.” When I was growing up, “trespassing” was something you could only do to other people’s computers.
This week Linode expanded to London, England. The latency from the Netherlands is about 18ms, pretty fast! Today, I moved my VPS from Newark, NJ, USA to London by 'cloning' it using Linode's great web interface. Copying ~6GB worth of images took 1 hour and 30 minutes. During the transfer the server was down, but the improved latency and download speed for Europe certainly was worth it.
I participated in the Backup Service Beta with my US node. Although I never needed to revert to a backup, it felt safe and it seemed to work very nicely. The beta program is not available yet in the UK, let's hope it will be anytime soon.
Altogether with a very positive result of a VPS performance comparison recently, I certainly can recommend Linode.com as your VPS. If you want to give it a try, please use the following referral code: 9e07717ba17b7283ecc8d000a8b0737b17c64a3f .

November the 12th, at exactly 09:09, our second child Miwa (美和 - beautiful Japanese style) was born in the hospital. The actual birth took just 30 minutes. Once again I was witness of the enormous strength released during labour. Miwa's weight after birth was 3360 grams and her length 48 centimeters.
Different was that my wife had to leave hospital just a few hours after delivery. In Japan she could stay for 5 days in the women's clinic. Lucky she didn't lose as much blood as with the birth of Towa.
Both are doing perfectly fine!
