Then, version 2.0 landed

July 27th, 2008

And finally here it is: I launched right now this site’s redesign. I haven’t put a lot of work on it but I’m pleased with the final results. I like min­i­mal­ism and mono­chrome designs, and even though this isn’t the most min­i­mal­ist design ever, I think it’s a good com­pro­mise. Taking advan­tage from oppor­tu­nity, I added some new fea­tures to the site (and removed some old ones).

The biggest change is the right column: now inte­grates my pownce feed. I’m still trying to under­stand why it doesn’t show noth­ing but simple posts, but I’ll fix it some­day (that’s not my fault though, I’m using a word­press plugin). And all the stuff that pre­vi­ously were on the right, now are on the very bottom of the page.

Just a couple of rants: I wish this was pow­ered from django and I hate wordpress.

Practical Django Projects

July 5th, 2008

Due to my devo­tion to the Django web frame­work, I finally got my copy of Prac­ti­cal Django Projects, by James Bennet. Not really expect­ing to have that soon, but a beau­ti­ful suprise anyway (to say the truth, I didn’t bought this: this has been sent to me as replace­ment prize for djan­go­dash because I was not eleg­i­ble to get the G33K beers since I live out­side US. Thanks to the gen­eros­ity of Daniel Lindsley).

Microblogging

  • Funny thing: yesterday night I had an idea about a good blog post I could make. But now I completely forgot what that idea was about. 11 hours ago #
  • I think pownce has a little issue with caching since if I delete a message and I write a new one, it doesn't appear in my homepage. Nov 16, 6:34pm #
  • I didn't know that something like [(x,y) for x in range(10) for y in range(x)] was possible in Python. Nov 16, 3:45pm #
  • I'm about to go to the local LUG dinner: pizza for everyone. Nov 14, 9:15pm #
  • Lately I've been very interested in fast data structures with minimum memory usage. Just surprised to find out that list comprehension in Python are sometimes slower for large quantities of data than classic for loops. Still trying to understand why (if someone has a clue, please let me know). Nov 12, 12:44pm #
  • So wordpress was silently modifying HTTP request headers and I was getting a 400 when fetching Pownce RSS. Now everything works as expected on my blog, shame on WP. Nov 9, 3:58pm #
  • Experimenting with document language identification. Nov 6, 10:23pm #
  • So looks like I finally found an interesting topic apart from web development: information retrieval. Nov 3, 5:13pm #
  • Planning a trip to Bologna in December Nov 1, 5:24pm #
  • After today, I want to go as far as I can from Italy. Oct 29, 11:49am #
