Blogging Roller

David Czarnecki: Red Cog is a social software development and support business. Red Cog will offer paid development and support contracts for blojsom and other projects such as del.icio.us Java, Akismet Java, Simpy Java, and future projects. In the past few months, I've had interest in paid development and support for blojsom from a number of companies. And ... well ... why not get paid to further develop and support your software?

Congrats David. That's great news for Blojsom fans everywhere.

As far as I know, nobody is offering paid support for Roller (yet).

Joe Gregorio has written a very interesting article that explores, with simple Python examples, some of the Python (and Ruby) language features that are missing from the Java language. As a Java fan I have to point out that, while those features are missing from the Java language, they are not missing from the Java platform. You can get all those goodies from Jython and JRuby and Groovy, which all run via Java VM.
