Working on a firefox plugin to optimize internal databases.
Reading dottorblaster's blog (and talking with him in #archlinux italian irc channel) I got the idea for a firefox 3 plugin.

XML-RPC is designed to be as simple as possible, while allowing complex data structures to be transmitted, processed
Whith XML-RPC you can do a lot of usefull stuff like this:
In this quarter I'm studying Distribuited Information Systems at university so I thought:
Why not share my example with other people?
Here we are, let's code a simple xml-rpc client to post a simple comment on this blog! For this example we will use:
- Python ( of course
) - xmlrpclib
- Wordpress XML-RPC APIs
Hello world!
Hello, World. I'm an italian Informatic Engeneering student, free and open source software enthusiast and great pizza eater. This blog will be a notepad about python programming, cutting edge technology and geeky things.
Let's start with an amazing ( ) code snippet in python language just to stay on-topic:
