After my past experience with bad hosting provider, I am happy to say I have find a very good hosting service.
If you need VPS hosting, Rimuhosting is a very good choice.

After about two years with Rimuhosting, I can summarize their feature here:

• They have a very good  entry-price for a virtual hosting
• System aministrator has a very prompt response: on every issue I get support in 24 hours, also on Sunday
• Rimuhosting uses a Xen virtualization mechanism which is very effective. I have tried other virtualized solution, which are worst.
• Java hosting works well, without problems.
• The default Bandwith is very huge (30GB). There is also  an automatic backup and a remote web-based shell out-of-the-box.
• You can choose between high-end Linux distribution  (like Red Hat enterprise) and free one.

Since we first released Google Chrome, the development team has been hard at work improving the stability and overall performance of the browser. In just 100 days, we have reached more than 10 million active users around the world (on all seven continents, no less) and released 14 updates to the product. We’re excited to announce that with today’s fifteenth release we are taking off the “beta” label!

We are happy for google, less happy for the web developer out of there: another browser to test, to add to the list, to work with… :-)

And we hope Google will note start a BrowserWar on year 2009.

I am happy Django Team has released version 1.0 of its python web framework. It was planned for 21th of September, but they speed up things :)
We can read on Django web site:

Developed and used over two years by a fast-moving online-news operation, Django was designed to handle two challenges: the intensive deadlines of a newsroom and the stringent requirements of the experienced Web developers who wrote it. It lets you build high-performing, elegant Web applications quickly.

Django focuses on automating as much as possible and adhering to the DRY principle.

In my own opinion django is too much “DRY”, and sometimes simpler solutions was avoided by them because considered “dirty”. Anyway, I have followed Django from 2006, and I suggest you to give it a try.
