15:17 <@tomboh> ooh a couchdb thingy on cpan!
15:18 <@osfameron> have you looked into couchdb much ?
15:18 <@Nicholas> couchdb? is that some sort of "behind the sofa" storage?
15:19 <@acme> i still don't understand couchdb
15:21 <@mb> "CouchDb is designed to store and report on large amounts of 
          semi-structured, document oriented data"
17:56 <@osfameron> huh... couchdb wants me to create my databases using a web 
          form...
17:59 <@osfameron> odd, firefox doesn't want to open the couchdb page, but w3m 
          is happy enough with it
