Zope (http://www.zope.org/) has good support for selective caching of ZSQL method result sets (an abstraction layer on top of your DB engine) which works great.
Have you looked into Zope? It's well documented (the "Zope book" is freely available on the net), open source and has a great developer community to help you along in your first steps.
Great concept that fits in well with our culture... after taking and taking and eating half the planet during your lifetime, this process will now make sure you won't *ever* give back to the commmunity of life on this planet that we all depend on. 8-(
It should be a dream of a taker's "burial", but that's about it;-)
This is kind of what happened to me, too. I entered Uni big-eyed in 1989, studying physics in order to get a degree to do astronomy in post-doc, but I soon felt that the people at uni weren't really there for the science (if you're my age and interested in astronomy you probably have read and / or watched "cosmos" by Carl Sagan).
Actually uni after a couple of semesters felt just like any other cheap labor I had done before, but I got to know computers, the internet and TeX and decided to finish my degree just for the heck of it. I entered the corporate landscape at 30h/week while still working on my thesis, and now after ten years in the commercial sector I can well understand your frustration and longing to get back on the "other side" of the fence.
However, this "rat race" of our culture will not let you out very easily, especially if you have people who depend on you or your income.
The best explanation of "how things came to be this way" I have found is in the book "Ishmael" by Dan Quinn. I think you will enjoy it, and it might change your life (at least from the inside;-) as it's changed mine.
I don't think it's elitist. Most people I know who run Linux run it for the ability to tweak the system, get down to the bottom of things, but most of all, to enjoy the freedom from a monopoly that is MS.
Of course you'll always have the elitist kind flocking to linux user group meetings wearing t-shirts proclaiming "I read your e-mail" or whatever, but still the prevalent reason to run Linux (or any kind of free OS) is the freedom of choice. Nothing more, nothing less.
Linux is an OS from the people for the people. Windows is an OS by Microsoft to make money. You choose what suits your bill (pun not intended;-) best.
If you would like to attack that problem at an even deeper level, please go and read the award-winning novel "Ishmael" by Dan Quinn.
It's the best explanation of "how things came to be this way" within our global culture I have read so far, and his logic and reasoning is very interesting.
If you've ever wondered how "humanity" as we like to call ourselves (but only the members of our culture) came from a relatively stable population to the brink of a global collapse within just 500 generations, then this book is for you. From glacial growth to exponential growth.
you can call them "primitive" if you want, but you may find that tribal people lead far more satisfying lives where they are still "allowed" to live untouched than our taker culture out to destroy the planet could ever provide us with.
Check this site for further reading if you're interested.
and no, I am not talking about genital-mutilating weirdos running around in the desert;-)
my 11 year old loves this shit. I've watched it with him a couple of times, and I have to admit I just cannot see the fascination. In fact, the shabby aninmation style makes me downright dizzy. Reminds me of "Heidi" back in the seventies, horrible.
then again, at age 34 maybe I'm not representative of the target audience. YUCK!
All the best for both of you and your
future! I have been married for 11 years now
(at age 34), there've been rough times and
good times, but I wouldn't want to miss a single
day!
Only the telekom monopoly can afford running
a real flat rate here (they own all the cables,
anyway), so for most smaller ISP's it's back to
accounting by volume, sometimes as high as 2.5
euro cent per megabyte. Usually you have 1-2 Gigs
inclusive, which is enough for most "average"
users.

"That is why governments form. Of course anarchy would be a better political system than any organized government, but people cannot live that way for long. "
Tribal peoples (no, not the taliban;-) have
lived in "anarchy" for literally millions of
years, and usually before being overrun by our
taker culture, will fight to death rather than
live "our" way, namely waging war against the
whole community of life on this planet.
Blaming religions (non-organized or organized)
is blaming the symptoms. Have you ever asked
yourself why salvationist religions formed in
the first place? Why do we hold the firm belief
that humanity itself is flawed? find out more
at Ishmael.org, or even better, read Dan Quinns book "Ishmael".
For me, it's simply the most important book
ever written. Not be the best by Quinn by any
stretch, but a starter on a voyage that will
leave you gasping for breath. My personal favourite
of DQ is "the story of B", but YMMV.
"Ishmael" shook the very foundations of the
way I see the "world" (our culture) today, and
not many books if any can make that claim.

Agriculture was not an invention to fight hunger; it pays off much less than hunting and gathering if you look at the calories involved (1 calory spent on hunting and gathering buys you 4 cals of food, while 1 cal spend on agriculture buys you only two).
Using increased food production to "finally feed the starving millions" once and for all is one of the common myths of our culture. I cannot work for above reasons, nor will it ever work.

Hi, we watched the complete eclipse from 11:14 first contact to the bitter end around 13:45 here in Northern Germany, about 500km north of the zone of totality. At peak occultation we had a very weird, blueish light, and the atmosphere was great with the temperature dropping by 11 degrees C.
