Best tech bits of 2007

Everyone else has a bloody list...

NĂºmero uno:

Duels.com

Launched in Q4, Duels is a seriously addictive online fantasy dueling game where players collect items to kit out their characters and challenge each other to a battle shadow fight style. I came across it via TechCrunch and now can't stop signing in for a ...

Django on Jython

Absolutely.

It's on!

Leo writes about his experience porting Django to Jython and there's a thread on the django-developers group too.

Funny how things seem to click for a bunch of people all at once - the release of Jython 2.2 seemingly the catalyst.

For my part I've ...

Permalink decorator pt. 2

Follow up

Since writing briefly about Django's permalink decorator I've had quite a few emails regarding the use of the permalink decorator and generic views.

Here is what works for me...

I often have the following urlconf in urls.py:

   urlpatterns = patterns('django.views.generic.date_based',   
   (r'^(?P<year>d ...

Django Advocacy

Breaking down doors.

Django Advocacy

Having engaged in a spot of workplace Django advocacy over the last few months I figured I would summarise a few of the key points here.

Django permalink decorator

Sometimes it pays to read the manual

RTFMing

Since I've been spending a lot of time learning Flex I haven't been following Django quite so closely. Finding myself with a dead spot yesterday I figured I'd have a look at updates to the model documentation for changes to model inheritance.

fcgi socket error

Lighttpd & Django/Flup weirdness.

No mod_python

I've been using Apache HTTPD for the last decade, but since I got a VPS at Rimuhosting I've been looking for ways to reduce memory consumption. This, combined with mod_python and pyLucene having incompatible threading models, lead me to look for alternatives.

Lift yer game Oracle

Mac on Intel? Never gonna happen...

I'd love to do some work/testing on Django's Oracle branch because we've got a few legacy PL/SQL web applications (via mod_plsql) that are begging to be replaced and Django seems a good fit.

Problem is, I upgraded to a MacBook a year ago, but unfortunately ...

First post

Finally got the site up

I'm too lazy

You're reading the first post on dejaMoo.

I wrote the site in Python using the magnificent Django framework on Easter Monday 2007, but it's taken me a couple of weeks to get around to deploying it. Why? Because I'm lazy, and more importantly ...

Thanks for dropping in.

This is the personal website of Cam MacRae. Any opinions expressed here are my entirely own, and have jack to do with my employer.

A Django site.
