Howto manage Cron Jobs and Task Queues using Google AppEngine

In the process of discovering Google AppEngine's list of available features, I recently came across Cron Jobs and Task Queues.

Featured Techie

Kim Binsted, Ph.D.

Some geeks live in the lab. Others live on an entirely different planet - like Mars. Well, almost like Mars. Meet Kim Binsted, our featured Techie of the Month. Kim is an associate professor at the University of Hawaii's Information and Computer Sciences(ICS) department. Binsted is also a co-investigator at the UH-NASA Astrobiology Institute. She studies how people interact with machines, computers and the surrounding environment. In other words, Binsted is a user interface expert and a specialist in so-called human factors. Unlike most UI experts, Binsted's customers are astronauts and astrobiologists.
