Mongrel2 is self hosting
"Zed Shaw’s Mongrel2 is shaping up to be a really interesting project. “A web server simply written in C that loves all languages equally”, the two most interesting new ideas are the ability to handle HTTP, Flash Sockets and WebSockets all on the same port (thanks to an extension to the Mongrel simonw says "HTTP parser that can identify all three protocols) and the ability to hook Mongrel2 up to the backend servers using either TCP/IP or ZeroMQ. I’m guessing this means Mongrel2 could hold an HTTP request open, fire off some messages and wait for various backends to send messages back to construct the response, making async processing just as easy as a regular blocking request/response cycle."

Snakes on the Web
A nice little potted history of the web from someone who makes his living making web development easier...

Notably (deliberately, I suspect) absent from this version are the mega framework-cum-apps - Alfresco, Plone, Drupal.

atwood at his provocative best:

This extension fixes this, and saves the complete page, including all images and all stylesheets associated with the document, even imported stylesheets and images referenced in the stylesheet files.

View :: Completely Sodding Stupid
moving beyond the fact that CSS Is Better Than Tables, yes, it's ful of crapness and stinks of something needing another round of development. Most telling quote: "The third [way] requires you to know exactly what the maximum width of things will be and then specify everything in terms of absolute positioning or pixel sizes or something. Which obviously doesn't work if you're building anything that has dynamically generated field labels such as, for example, internationalized content. Sometimes I wonder if the CSS designers ever actually built dynamic websites for a living or if they were only ever in charge of static content."
