Very nice, I like that you opted for HTML5 instead of Flash. However I've no idea what you do or are trying to offer so why would I sign up for an invite? For all I know it may be an invite to spam.

I was attempting to make the point that Django is Python code that sits on the server as a backend for web pages like your stated common use of PHP. So why PHP to Django? How would the Python crowd feel if it was the other way around, for

I'm not sure where to begin with all this. It's late and been a long day so I will try and follow up most of this tomorrow morning. However, to your first set of points .. Where you call pre-populated global variables "language constructs"

Think about it for a moment. 1, Facebook automagicly tagging you in pictures based on facial recognition. 2, Geotagging pictures becomes common place.

Django is Python code that sits on the server, just like PHP code.

PHP is NOT in any sense a framework. A framework is an abstraction built up USING a programming language, like PHP. In what way does PHP's standard library fall short that Python overcomes?

PHP is a scripting language and Django is a python web framework. PHP to Python would make more sense.

A couple of really good books I'd recommend (for the intel 8086) would be the "The 8086 Project book" and the radio shack "Understanding Digital Computers". Those books are a great start to this kind of hobby.

Being a sucker for retro I went for the green screen 1630A myself. Plus the 1650As go for hundreds of pounds here in the UK. I like your twitter image .. I used the same one (but from my 1630A) :D ( http://twitter.com/andrew_rose )

A quick tip just in case this inspires anyone to far. I highly recommend that you think long and hard before you run out and buy a thousand relays with the intentions of following in this guys foot steps .. If still want a thousand relays,

Nice project. I've got a box full of 8086's and support chips just waiting for that rainy weekend to come around. If you like this stuff, you have to check out the daddy of homebrew computing: http://www.homebrewcpu.com

I see your point. But I didn't realise he was a developer, from the way he was talking, it sounded like he was in a position of authority at the company. I see how you figured out he was an employee now, I'll be sure to do profile checks on

Maybe it's just how I see it, but "unlimited" is a "hard limit". If you don't provide unlimited service, then say so, it's not rocket science.

Thanks for your insight. I see what you mean about the bait-and-switch which makes sense for recent customers but I don't think it could be seen like that for the ones that have been with use for many years if we only increase the price by

If there are similar products to yours out there, base your pricing around them to begin with. Even if your product does things better than product X be sure to charge around the same price. If your sales take off review the pricing model

If you are running exim on localhost for outbound mail only you shouldn't need to panic (like I just did) :D

I'm curious, why don't you state limits on your site? You state "unlimited", when in fact it's not. You don't even have small print to cover yourself. What if one of your customers end up taking you to court for breach of contract, of doe

My company had a server hosted with UK2. We bailed when they had no answer to why our server restarted randomly and made absolutely no attempt to look into the problem. The lack of respect from them, that our company depended on a reliabl

Any true hacker could be seen as an "aspiring polymath" at the very least. I don't dare call myself a hacker, but I am an aspiring one :)

I don't know about you, but when I lay sole to mill, I turn into a hydrant of perspiration and saliva that graces a good 3 foot zone of terror around me. Might want to get a small umbrella or something, just in case.

Maybe this raises a serious question. Why are so many people (including myself) reliant on one company for handling their payments? Maybe traders should start adding alternative forms of payment to their excepted payments. I know I will.

Maybe that's the DDOS in action .. post news to as many high traffic news sites as possible (/., reddit, hn, etc) that paypal is down with a direct link to paypal in the title and bingo.

It's not "agile" but very much suited to your situation, MVC, as a developer you would maintain the Model and Controllers. The UX/UI designer sticks to the Views. Apply agile methods around this. As to which, you will need to experiment
