Ninjas vs. Grokkers

Found out about the cool comics site Comiqs this morning. It’s very cool, and has features similar to those of Comic Life, which comes pre-installed with new Macs. The nice thing about Comiqs, is that it’s online and free.

Comiqs allows you to create a comic strip, and integrates with Flickr, so you can use your photos from Flickr automatically.

To try it out, I’ve created a fictional story where an unadvised Plonista meets the evil Grokkers, and is rescued by a Sleepy Ninja. Hope you like it. And I hope the actors involved don’t mind me using their images. :)

Just read Martin Aspeli’s post about his experiences using Pylons. Some people that have been around me and Alan might remember that we’ve been saying for quite some time that we need something Routes-like in ZopeLand, and also faster restarts or even hot reload.

At PyConBrasil last week there was some buzz going on about Grok. I do appreciate the efforts and I think that something like Grok might help a little bit with lowering the barrier for creating applications with Zope.

I do hope that people raise their eyes a little bit and look to frameworks like Pylons, and think about how they can integrate Routes with Grok. And to boot, if they can make a Grok application that can restart in under 2 seconds on average hardware, then I’m sold!
