GAE announcing open signups !

Google open its GAE to the public, and announce the prices, but it will stay free under some quotas. It comes with a new images api, a new cache api, developped by the guy of memcached. The so waited, image api is a little poor, it can only do what picasaweb do : crop, resize, transform (rotate/flip), ... as long as it seems to reuse picasaweb api on serverside (and PIL on dev side). No way to combine images, or create some pixels arts ;-(

The only thing which really miss now : it's a cron system. But, like I said in the past, I really see some neat entries in the yaml config to be a able to cron a script.

Google make a big jump in the web cloud computing. And brings python to the lights. Big news !
