A long time ago, when I had too much time, I had a blog where I kept family and friends that were far away up 2 date. Now that facebook, twitter and Co. do that much better, I just kept the "blog" as my web playground to try out new stuff. I'm working on a django powered e-campaigning platform for a friend of mine and decided to try out a couple of django blogs. Currently this baby is running django-mingus and is hosted on one the best providers out there and of course comes with ponies with magical powers.

I will mostly be posting geeky stuff here, so for those not interested in django/python and arduinos will be better served in other places, at least until i develop the other parts of the site that cover some other hobbies: photoblog and photojournalism projects, environmental work and ultimate frisbee. If I ever decide to post any of the other stuff I write again it will also appear here someday.

As pointed out on baratrion.org and like many developers out there I have spent more time working on blog software as writing content, and that is probably not going to change that much. What I do want to do is start documenting what I do for work and I will start out tomorrow with how I set this up on webfaction using virtualenv/virtualenvwrapper but without having to alter the mingus code so that I can have more than one instance using it.

I know I should link to some famous jazz musician as django tradition dictates, but I am hooked on this song:

Cheers and happy new years!
