This year at DjangoCon , it seemed like everybody was talking about automatic deployments and namely Chef . After coming home from the conference, I spent a considerable amount of time learning chef and thinking about how it can be best used with small to medium size Django apps. In this post, I will walk you through how Chef works and how it can help you make awesome web apps. When I say small apps, I mean single-server deployments. Th....

Taken for the Magnolia Coffee & Tea Co. promotion on FRUGGL. A great little coffee shop. The pumpkin spice blend is phenomenal on a cool fall morning.

Change Log; More UI Tweaks Improved Offline Reading capabilities Improved Error Reporting Decrease..

C and I had our introductory pistol shooting session at the Midland Indoor Shooting Range this morning at 10am. I originally purchased the session from OurDeal , getting the session for $69 down from $180.

Has anyone heard of ifttt (if this then that) ? It’s a new service (free, for now) based on what I think is a really original and awesome idea! ifttt is like an automated social media/internet to do list.

Recently, at SheepDogInc , I have been working with various Google APIs, especially the Calendar API. The state of these APIs is rather unfortunate . Google is a web giant and you’d think that their APIs would be state-of-the-art given the number of professionals they employ. Documentation Before we go anywhere, let me just talk about the documentation for a minute. As an open-source software author and advocate, I always encourage deve....

Se state considerando l’opzione Cloud per il vostro SQL Server non lasciatevi sfuggire l’ultimo articolo di Jeremiah Peschka, Configuring SQL Server in Amazon EC2. A dispetto del titolo non si tratta di un tutorial, ma di una analisi accurata di vantaggi e svantaggi legati al deploy di un database SQL nel Cloud, a prescindere dalla piattaforma adottata. Il cloud è robusto e affidabile. Il cloud risolve ogni problema di scalabilità. Ne..

Good news. I have finally arrived in Palo Alto. I just got to my hotel and I'm getting my apartment later this week (hopefully), so you could say that I've officially moved.

Gran bella esperienza quella del Romagna Camp. Un mix perfetto di networking, lavoro e (tanto) divertimento. Chi c’era sa, chi non c’era faccia un giro sul tag #romagnacamp di Twitter e saprà. Scopro con disappunto che SlideShare fa un pessimo servizio a Keynote, non rendendo né transizioni né animazioni e sostituendo i font come gli pare. Ecco dunque la mia presentazione, o piuttosto quel che ne rimane dopo l’upload*:

I know this sounds extremely lame, but on Wednesday August 3rd, I threw my back out playing Angry Birds. And each time I’ve told people that, they’ve either burst out laughing, gave me the quizzical look (as if I’m joking), or simply state something along the lines of “if it were to happen, it would have happened to you.” I definitely plan on telling people that I threw my back out playing Angry Birds at future events (it is a great ice ..

My employer, SheepDogInc , sent me and a colleague of mine to DjangoCon 2011 . It was my first developer conference and I had a blast. Here a few quick points about what the conference has clarified for me. Deploying Django Despite the Django official documentation’s recommendation to use Apache and mod_wsgi, most people seem to deploy Django with nginx and gunicorn. This has been a pleasant surprise to me because I like it but though t....

I’m getting worried about Google. Long one of the champions of the open web alongside Mozilla, the rise of social networking silos and the app economy seem to have scared them. And like any scared organism, they lash out. Many of their plans to make web competitive against native development environments are good, there is indeed much to improve in the stack. But what I’m uneasy with is the unilateral way they go about it, preferrin....

Well, what was left of my post-Ukrainian childhood, anyway… Website contests Does anyone else remember those website competitions, where you had groups of sites joining teams (usually fantasy-themed) and compete amongst themselves to get the most votes, and then the finalists of those teams would go up against finalists of the other teams until there was one winner left and they got an animated GIF award to put on their page?

This is awesome for all Vimsters out there. A guy named Michael Pohoreski seems to have had a similar problem to almost every other vim user/beginner out there. He couldn't find a good vim cheat sheet, so he made the mother of all cheat sheets. It's damn ugly, but pretty good:

Il progetto Chess@home è il vincitore del recente Node Knockout, ed una volta tanto si tratta di qualcosa di davvero innovativo e intrigante. Obiettivo: la creazione della più potente Intelligenza Artificiale per il gioco degli Scacchi al mondo, generata nientemeno che dai browser attivi sulla rete. L’elaborazione collaborativa distribuita è diventata famosa grazie a progetti come SETI@home e Folding@home. Semplificando molto potremmo dir....

A while back I applied to Microsoft’s MACH Scheme (graduate scheme) and was lucky enough to get offered a place. Only started on Monday but I’m already loving it. If you’re a student considering applying for graduate jobs I would strongly recommend it . P.s. As I’ve started work and don’t working internet connection at home (yet) I just wanted to quickly apologise for not getting back to people as quickly as I normally would. I will st..

Pre-warning: this is going to be a long post and might be all over the place. It’s a collection of personal thoughts and considerations about cryonics and mind transfer.

Well it seems searchco.de has been very slow to respond over the last few days. Turns out I had some rogue processes running for another domain chunews.com which were eating a lot of the CPU. I just killed them and switched off the processes for maybe good as that website really needs an overhaul anyway.

I saw this post on Hacker News today and thought it might be interesting to the TextMate users out there. It's written by this person, Jack Kinsella and he goes very much in-depth into how to convert yourself from being a TextMates to a vim user.

Carta e inchiostro costano eppure ci sono (ancora) molte ragioni per mandare in stampa una pagina web. David Bushell ha creato Print.css , un mini sito che incoraggia i web designer alla creazione di fogli di stile eco-compatibili che inviino alla stampante solo il necessario. In effetti la direttiva CSS @media permette di farlo con facilità.

Warning: this proof requires a bit of familiarity with the terminology of propositional logic and graph theory. Problem: Let $ G$ be an infinite graph. Show that $ G$ is $ n$-colorable if and only if every finite subgraph $ G_0 \subset G$ is $ n$-colorable. Solution: One of the many equivalent versions of the Compactness Theorem for the propositional calculus states that if $ \Sigma \subset \textup{Prop}(A)$, where $ A$ is a set of proposit..

An [equilateral triangle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equilateral_triangle), in case you've forgotten, is a triangle composed of lines that are all of the same length. For some reason I started thinking about those kinds of triangles the other day and wanted to create one, for use in a pattern or something. I could have opted to just google for an image of one, but I wanted to draw one by hand. I started by creating a shape using the pen ..
