schema design

Are there any more articles like this?  http://blog.digg.com/?p=966

I'm looking for more thoughts on best practices for moving from a
relational structure to a column-oriented one.  Cassandra is still
very weird to me, perhaps my mind has been ruined by relational
databases!

keyspace is the correct current term, check your config file :)

Ah, http://blog.evanweaver.com/articles/2009/07/06/up-and-running-with-cassandra/
is in line with what I'm looking for, although it looks a little out
of date (keyspace went away, right?).

If you have questions, feel free to ask here or contact me directly.

Expect a few more posts on Cassandra as we migrate more stuff over. I  
think there are some interesting schema ideas that I haven't seen  
anyone touch on.
