  1. mostly because drupal was ridiculously easy to install with MAMP.
  2. I wonder how hard it is to modify say, xampp, to have virtualenv with python/django
  3. I'm liking the *.register() pattern a lot of Django apps use. Makes me more (falsely?) comfortable than explicit class mixins.
  4. I mean, Django's used in places like NY Times, WaPo, the Onion, WNYC -- hell, it helped someone win a Pulitzer. Things not widely known.
  5. What Django could learn from Rails/Drupal: a penchant for self-marketing. Quality matters, but so does mindshare. In moderation of course.
  6. @defbyte I downloaded it from bittorrent. Although I think BBC America is showing it, or will be soon
  7. @erinritch there is a rating system, but the annoying part is that you can't sort by ratings
  8. Every time I browse the App Store, I wish Apple allowed app demos.
  9. @mazelife that's why you get some yogurt drinks with soju ;)
  10. Sometimes I feel like what Vernor Vinge described as the future of programming in A Deepness in the Sky: a Programmer-Archaeologist.
  11. @treevis It didn't quite hold up to the promise in ep. 1 for me, but it was remarkably better than the previous seasons.
  12. Oh man, I can't believe they killed Gandalf.
  13. Drupal's weird. It's a shift in mindset. Often, the easiest and best way to do something isn't the direct way.
  14. Jack Vance is one of my favorites. His influence is subtle, but prevalent -- every D&D player has felt his touch. http://bit.ly/rX6vW
  15. Content filling is the most mind numbing activity in the world
  16. @bbarbot make sure it's a fixed bid and not t&m!
  17. @tobyjoe ah, gotcha. yeah, it's a big meal, so i'll be chewing on it for some time.
  18. @bbarbot i'm pretty sure there's a module for it.
  19. @tobyjoe above and beyond what's in http://bit.ly/VqqF3 ? are you talking about code idioms that aren't documented anywhere?
  20. @tobyjoe wonderful :p but then what doesn't have gotchas?
