Not using Google App Engine

In my last post I said I was going to try using Google App Engine for Java to write a front-end for RemoteAndroid. This didn't work out because it turns out that GAE has a fixed timeout of 5 seconds when fetching an external URL. Since it usually takes more than 5 seconds to get the response from RemoteAndroid, especially when doing the location name lookup, this is not going to work. So I'm now doing it in good old Perl instead.
