Robotize ME!

I've taken a brief hiatus from Robotize me to check out another web server: Hiawatha. Its pretty nice - very small and feature packed.

I've also been doing some hosting work with mysql-proxy and varnish, which are very nice services. I'm planning to integrate those into the mindeb, nodows, and hypermagnet projects I'm also working on.

After spending some time getting nsxml.c to work, I've revisited tdom for parsing the fence file, and it works great!

I may end up reverting everything back to nsxml.c, but I like that nsxml.c is an internal component for AOL Server. There's something quite cool about that.

Anyway, I also heard back from Dossy about my nsmysql.c question. I took the suggestion of installing libmysqlclient14 and -dev, but still no go. I was surprised I had to go all the way back to sarge to get those libs on lenny. I responded back to Dossy with thanks for the quick response, as wel as a follow-up question: does it make sense to try and update the bindings to libmysqlclient15?
