Oh, how the mighty have fallen!

OK, so that’s a little dramatic, but still, my blog’s google placement for certain keywords has suffered sorely and it troubles me.
It all started with comment spam. I installed a spam eating plug-in to keep the flood from pouring over my blog, and it worked well – too well. At first, I was [...]

One year of blathering.

A year ago, I gave wordpress a spin and started sharing with the world some of the many things that interest me. This tends to be stuff about Open Source/Free software. The cool thing about Open Source software is that it seems to have universal appeal. This map shows typical geographic locations [...]

Django RULES!!!

But sadly, it’s unusable for me. It really, really bums me out.
The bugs responsible are here and here. There’s related reading in Google Groups and also a related ticket here.
I want to put out a bounty for this bug, but I don’t want to step on the toes of the developers. Any fix [...]

Django VS the AMD Sempron

Today’s screenshot is brought to you by the Django Admin interface:

For those of you who don’t recognize this, it’s the GNOME System Monitor applet. The dark blue basically represents CPU usage for Django (more accurately – caused by Django). The model validates [1] and the tables/Models are shown in the front page of [...]

Python and Django – Big points in the first quarter.

Bumps ahead

The big deal will be the addition of Xen, LVM and RAID. I’m thinking about setting up a small domU that will [...]
