Hi Matthew,

2006.07.19 Wed 9:20 P GMT-07
This evening I attended a SLLUG meeting about deploying django with lighhtpd. I've never messed with lightty before, only heard off hand complaints that it doesn't like python too much. The perl-esque configuration setup seemed to provide for virtu
The missing Pycon presentation...
2006.02.28 Tue 9:51 P GMT-07
This screencast should've been a presentation at Pycon. It does a relatively decent job comparing and constrasting J2EE, ROR, Zope, TG, and Django. I talked to a handful of people at Pycon who said they would've enjoyed a panel discussion with the

2005.08.08 Mon 10:51 P GMT-07
Having Ruby on Rails pounded into me for 5 straight days (it seemed to be a theme of OSCON) caused me to try out Django tonight. I've only finished the 2nd tutorial but it's pretty impressive what's in there.
The only thing that seems a little
