Sorry to be crass. Djangy was a serious competitor and I have a lot of respect for what they've accomplished. However, life goes on for the users who were on Djangy and some of them are going to need an alternative.

Shimon from DjangoZoom here. I wish the best for Dave and Sameer in their new directions. For anyone looking for Django hosting, we're working every day to build the best Django deployment and hosting solution, and will have big news real s

This project looks promising. Could be a good basis for a consulting business, taking apps that have hit some obstacles or design limitations on Google AE, and getting them running on TyphoonAE-based hosting with app-specific infrastructure

The original article does point out a few reasons, but the way I see it is this: AE is great if you want to scale and your app can scale in the AE way. There is a sweet spot and the tools work pretty well if you're in that sweet spot, but

Tooltips are not typically seen in iPhone apps. The screenshot was from the hipmunk web application. Perhaps hipmunk assumes that anyone using their iPhone app is already familiar with the web app and shouldn't be treated as a novice user.

Defend signal. If a meeting, email, or offhand discussion seems like noise, politely bow out. The biggest drain is assuming that these things all require your attention -- instead, take a break, figure out what merits your attention, and fe

Perl was beautiful once, but could never raise the funds to keep up with the numerous plastic surgeries required to maintain her grotesque attractiveness. Over time, the suitors who weren't afraid of change just got bored, and while there a

Level 3 did a great job spinning this into public outrage. Here's what actually happened: 1. Level3 started offering CDN services. By leveraging their existing peering relationships (as a tier 1 ISP) they could essentially subsidize the tra

Great tip! Note that for this to work, you need to edit /etc/ssh/ssh_config and set PermitLocalCommand yes There's no way to change profile from the command line using gnome-terminal, unfortunately, but there is "roxterm" which is very

I did the same thing - bought an older 16:10 model to avoid having to go 16:9. I have a Thinkpad W500 with a 1920x1200 15" screen. If 4:3 screens were still available, I'd have bought one of those. On the bright side, if you're shopping for

You can still do this with many of the newest Thinkpads. They call it the "Ultrabay". Example: http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/web/LenovoPo...

GAE looks like this at first glance. But it turns out to be focused 90% on scalability, and 10% on easy deployment. The main issue for Django developers is that on GAE, you're using a nonrelational database. Assumptions about the RDBMS run

If an investor disagrees with a founder so much that they are willing to take actions that force that founder to act against his/her own will, then things must be in pretty bad shape. When a company is doing great, nobody picks fights with

FYI: if you install this, boot into iDroid, and can't figure out how to reboot: The power button is simulated by holding the iPhone's home and lock buttons simultaneously.

This presentation comes out against some specific incentives, but doesn't state a judgment on formal incentive schemes in general. From what I've heard, these schemes are quite alive and well at Google. So perhaps they have found a way to m

Dear god, If you could combine this with a Google-docs-like collaborative editing feature, I could once again enjoy a life free of word processors, where the true meaning of Meta-Shift-^ could become known to the masses. That would rock. Ju

It sounds like you're starting off with a reasonable MVP feature set, but I'm mainly wondering what lists you will have at the start. It might go more smoothly if you pick a few important lists to feature, and maybe even scrape data from th

According to http://bitnami.org/files/stacks/djangostack/1.2.3-0/changelo... , BitNami includes Django 1.2.3 as of 2010-10-08. That's the latest release of Django. But even if that version were a little old, it's probably more important t
